Top failures
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 2.35%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.64%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.4%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Windscreen washer fluid insufficient 1.01%
Washers are not supplying enough liquid, so the windscreen cannot be cleared properly, which is a safety issue.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 0.97%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Suspension arm pin/bush excessively worn 0.76%
Worn suspension arm bushes allow the wheel to move unpredictably, affecting steering, handling and tyre wear.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (11.97%) · Brake pads wearing thin (9.62%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (6.82%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (4.52%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (2.96%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (2.93%)
