Top failures
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 3.39%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.5%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 1.44%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 1.19%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 1.12%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Registration plate lamp not working 0.69%
A dark number plate lamp makes the plate hard to read at night, which is illegal and must be fixed.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (14.42%) · Brake pads wearing thin (8.08%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (4.49%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (2.09%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (1.79%) · Nail in tyre, monitor (1.77%)
