Top failures
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.3%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Parking brake efficiency below minimum 1.3%
The parking brake holds the car less well than required, so it may roll on a slope and needs repair.
Windscreen washer fluid insufficient 1.07%
Washers are not supplying enough liquid, so the windscreen cannot be cleared properly, which is a safety issue.
Parking brake efficiency under half required 0.99%
The parking brake is well below required strength and is unlikely to hold the car on a slope.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 0.99%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 0.99%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (8.26%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (3.98%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (3.06%) · Brake pads wearing thin (3.06%) · Tyre has a shallow cut (1.38%) · Nail in tyre, monitor (1.07%)
