Top failures
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 2.73%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Position lamp not working 2.65%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 2.06%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Anti-roll bar linkage dust cover unsealed 1.32%
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the linkage joint, speeding wear and possibly needing a future repair.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 1.01%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Windscreen washer fluid insufficient 0.93%
Washers are not supplying enough liquid, so the windscreen cannot be cleared properly, which is a safety issue.
Common advisories
Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (10.98%) · Brake pads wearing thin (9.8%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (9.13%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (8.12%) · Brake discs showing some wear (1.92%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (1.86%)
