Top failures
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 3.33%
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 2.51%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.27%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Parking brake efficiency below minimum 0.84%
The parking brake holds the car less well than required, so it may roll on a slope and needs repair.
Parking brake lever excessive movement 0.83%
Too much lever travel means the handbrake needs adjusting or repair, and it may not hold the car properly.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 0.79%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Common advisories
Brake pads wearing thin (13.37%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (13.06%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (9.95%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (5.08%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (4.23%) · Brake discs showing some wear (2.82%)
