Top failures
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 2.55%
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 1.42%
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 1.05%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Tyre pressure monitoring system faulty 0.62%
A faulty tyre pressure monitor cannot warn about low tyre pressure, so check tyres manually and have the fault diagnosed.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 0.59%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Headlamp aim set too high 0.48%
Headlamps aimed too high can dazzle other drivers, and adjusting them is usually a quick job.
Common advisories
Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (13.55%) · Brake pads wearing thin (7.6%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (6.79%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (2.07%) · Tyre has a shallow cut (1.71%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (1.5%)
