Top failures
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 2.82%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 2.26%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.77%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.51%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 1.44%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Side repeater not working 0.86%
A failed side repeater means other road users cannot see your intended direction change, which is dangerous and must be fixed.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (17.18%) · Brake pads wearing thin (8.88%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (5.71%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (3.39%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (2.75%) · Brake discs showing some wear (2.62%)
