Top failures
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 3.56%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 1.49%
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 1.46%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
CV joint boot split or insecure 1.32%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Tyre pressure monitoring system faulty 1.18%
A faulty tyre pressure monitor cannot warn about low tyre pressure, so check tyres manually and have the fault diagnosed.
Registration plate lamp not working 1.02%
A dark number plate lamp makes the plate hard to read at night, which is illegal and must be fixed.
Common advisories
Brake pads wearing thin (6.96%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (5.64%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (4.58%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (3.97%) · Brake discs showing some wear (2.34%) · Anti-roll bar linkage pin/bush worn (1.84%)
