Top failures
Service brake excessively binding 2.74%
A brake that drags when released can overheat, wear quickly and waste fuel, so it needs prompt inspection.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 2.64%
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 2.15%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 1.37%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Brake discs significantly worn 1.17%
Heavily worn discs reduce braking performance and wear pads faster, so a replacement will soon be needed.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.08%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Common advisories
Brake disc pitted or scored (11.93%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (8.9%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (7.43%) · Brake pads wearing thin (5.18%) · Service brake slightly binding (4.3%) · Coil spring showing some corrosion (2.44%)
