Top failures
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 2.41%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 2.41%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Headlamp aim set too low 1.29%
Headlamps aimed too low light the road poorly and reduce the driver's view ahead, especially at night.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 1.12%
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 1.04%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 1.04%
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 (11.73%) · Brake pads wearing thin (8.84%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (4.42%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (3.86%) · Brake discs showing some wear (2.81%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (2.09%)
