Top failures
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 2.96%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Daytime running lamp not working 1.11%
A failed daytime running lamp makes the car less visible to other road users, so it should be repaired.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 0.77%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 0.59%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Windscreen washer fluid insufficient 0.58%
Washers are not supplying enough liquid, so the windscreen cannot be cleared properly, which is a safety issue.
Headlamp aim set too high 0.42%
Headlamps aimed too high can dazzle other drivers, and adjusting them is usually a quick job.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (7.17%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (6.1%) · Brake pads wearing thin (2.07%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (1.42%) · Tyre has a shallow cut (1.32%) · Nail in tyre, monitor (1.09%)
