Top failures
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 5.49%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Headlamp aim set too high 1.91%
Headlamps aimed too high can dazzle other drivers, and adjusting them is usually a quick job.
Headlamp aim set too low 1.59%
Headlamps aimed too low light the road poorly and reduce the driver's view ahead, especially at night.
Dipped beam headlamp not working 1.59%
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 1.51%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Windscreen washer fluid insufficient 1.43%
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 (10.9%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (6.44%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (4.06%) · Brake pads wearing thin (3.5%) · Brake discs showing some wear (1.99%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (1.67%)
