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 3.05%
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 2.28%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Parking brake inoperative on one side 2.25%
The parking brake does not work on one side, so the car may not hold on a slope and needs repair.
Parking brake lever excessive movement 1.7%
Too much lever travel means the handbrake needs adjusting or repair, and it may not hold the car properly.
Track rod end ball joint excessively worn 1.21%
Worn steering ball joints can affect steering control and safety, so repair is needed before the car is driven.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (13.89%) · Brake pads wearing thin (12.13%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (8.36%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (5.85%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (3.54%) · Brake discs showing some wear (2.71%)
