Top failures
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 3.76%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Seat belt not functioning as intended 1.11%
A seat belt not working properly may fail to protect you in a crash, so it must be repaired or replaced.
Seat belt retractor defective 0.95%
A defective retractor may not lock or spool properly, so the belt may not restrain you in a crash.
Daytime running lamp not working 0.91%
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 0.79%
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 0.55%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (4.51%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (3.88%) · Brake pads wearing thin (1.5%) · Tyre has a shallow cut (1.34%) · Nail in tyre, monitor (0.95%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (0.83%)
