Top failures
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 2.9%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 2.5%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.96%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 1.95%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Tyre pressure monitoring system faulty 1.01%
A faulty tyre pressure monitor cannot warn about low tyre pressure, so check tyres manually and have the fault diagnosed.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 0.89%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (16.89%) · Brake pads wearing thin (10.63%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (4.26%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (4.04%) · Seat belt webbing slightly frayed (2.67%) · Brake discs showing some wear (2.3%)
