Top failures
Daytime running lamp not working 3.35%
A failed daytime running lamp makes the car less visible to other road users, so it should be repaired.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 2.91%
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 1.49%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.08%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Windscreen washer fluid insufficient 1.01%
Washers are not supplying enough liquid, so the windscreen cannot be cleared properly, which is a safety issue.
Tyre pressure monitoring system faulty 0.88%
A faulty tyre pressure monitor cannot warn about low tyre pressure, so check tyres manually and have the fault diagnosed.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (9.67%) · Brake pads wearing thin (6.75%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (6.66%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (5.42%) · Brake discs showing some wear (1.65%) · Nail in tyre, monitor (1.34%)
