Top failures
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 3.99%
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 3.18%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.97%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 2.93%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Tyre pressure monitoring system faulty 2.92%
A faulty tyre pressure monitor cannot warn about low tyre pressure, so check tyres manually and have the fault diagnosed.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 2.49%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (20.84%) · Brake pads wearing thin (13.36%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (6.87%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (5.85%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (5.74%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (5.48%)
