Top failures
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.62%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 0.79%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Windscreen washer fluid insufficient 0.34%
Washers are not supplying enough liquid, so the windscreen cannot be cleared properly, which is a safety issue.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 0.33%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Headlamp aim set too high 0.32%
Headlamps aimed too high can dazzle other drivers, and adjusting them is usually a quick job.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 0.25%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (5.01%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (4.67%) · Tyre has a shallow cut (2.16%) · Brake pads wearing thin (1.46%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (0.91%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (0.84%)
