Top failures
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 3.98%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Dipped beam headlamp not working 2.4%
A failed dipped beam makes it hard to see and be seen at night, so the lamp needs fixing before driving.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.33%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Track rod end ball joint excessively worn 2.05%
Worn steering ball joints can affect steering control and safety, so repair is needed before the car is driven.
Tyre pressure monitoring system faulty 1.92%
A faulty tyre pressure monitor cannot warn about low tyre pressure, so check tyres manually and have the fault diagnosed.
Service brake excessively binding 1.4%
A brake that drags when released can overheat, wear quickly and waste fuel, so it needs prompt inspection.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (17.17%) · Brake pads wearing thin (10.81%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (6.99%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (5.99%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (3.17%) · Service brake slightly binding (3.09%)
