Top failures
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 2.39%
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 1.65%
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 1.63%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Dipped beam headlamp not working 1.59%
A failed dipped beam makes it hard to see and be seen at night, so the lamp needs fixing before driving.
Stop lamp not working 1.54%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 1.26%
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 (12.67%) · Brake pads wearing thin (7.96%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (5.75%) · Anti-roll bar linkage pin/bush worn (3.59%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (3.49%) · Brake discs showing some wear (3.23%)
