Top failures
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.35%
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 0.56%
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 0.41%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Headlamp aim set too high 0.26%
Headlamps aimed too high can dazzle other drivers, and adjusting them is usually a quick job.
Tyre bulge from structural failure 0.26%
A bulge means the tyre's structure has failed and it could burst suddenly, so it must be replaced at once.
Windscreen washer fluid insufficient 0.26%
Washers are not supplying enough liquid, so the windscreen cannot be cleared properly, which is a safety issue.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (5.77%) · Tyre has a shallow cut (1.8%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (0.97%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (0.9%) · Tyre showing slight damage (0.75%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (0.56%)
