Top failures
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 2.77%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Position lamp not working 2.23%
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 1.8%
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 1.1%
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the linkage joint, speeding wear and possibly needing a future repair.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 1.07%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 0.83%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Common advisories
Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (11.42%) · Brake pads wearing thin (9.59%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (9.38%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (7.55%) · Shock absorber light oil misting (1.86%) · Brake discs showing some wear (1.83%)
