Top failures
Headlamp aim set too low 3.7%
Headlamps aimed too low light the road poorly and reduce the driver's view ahead, especially at night.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 2.61%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Headlamp beam pattern obviously incorrect 2.6%
A wrongly shaped beam can dazzle other drivers and reduce your own view of the road, so the lamps need correcting.
Dipped beam headlamp not working 2.14%
A failed dipped beam makes it hard to see and be seen at night, so the lamp needs fixing before driving.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.94%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Windscreen washer fluid insufficient 1.81%
Washers are not supplying enough liquid, so the windscreen cannot be cleared properly, which is a safety issue.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (15.08%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (7.16%) · Brake pads wearing thin (4.81%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (4.37%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (2.94%) · Brake discs showing some wear (2.17%)
