Top failures
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 0.86%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 0.8%
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 0.51%
Washers are not supplying enough liquid, so the windscreen cannot be cleared properly, which is a safety issue.
Headlamp aim set too high 0.45%
Headlamps aimed too high can dazzle other drivers, and adjusting them is usually a quick job.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 0.37%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Windscreen washers not working 0.32%
Without working washers the windscreen cannot be cleaned while driving, which is a safety risk in dirty weather.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (6.41%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (5.3%) · Brake pads wearing thin (4.58%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (4.14%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (1.7%) · Nail in tyre, monitor (1.4%)
