Top failures
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 3.19%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Parking brake efficiency below minimum 3.18%
The parking brake holds the car less well than required, so it may roll on a slope and needs repair.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 3.17%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Tyre pressure monitoring system faulty 3.14%
A faulty tyre pressure monitor cannot warn about low tyre pressure, so check tyres manually and have the fault diagnosed.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.73%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Service brake excessively binding 1.72%
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 (15.28%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (12.42%) · Brake pads wearing thin (12%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (9.61%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (4.14%) · Brake discs showing some wear (3.19%)
