Top failures
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 4.03%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Headlamp aim set too low 3.9%
Headlamps aimed too low light the road poorly and reduce the driver's view ahead, especially at night.
Headlamp beam pattern obviously incorrect 2.41%
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 2.02%
A failed dipped beam makes it hard to see and be seen at night, so the lamp needs fixing before driving.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 1.71%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Stop lamp not working 1.51%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Common advisories
Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (13.98%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (10.62%) · Brake pads wearing thin (5.05%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (4.28%) · Brake discs showing some wear (2.73%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (2.48%)
