Top failures
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 3.22%
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 1.71%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
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 tread below 1.6mm 1.37%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 0.68%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Wheel bearing excessively rough 0.62%
A rough or noisy bearing is wearing out and may fail, so it should be inspected and replaced before it worsens.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (15.34%) · Brake pads wearing thin (12.19%) · Linkage ball joint slight play (7.53%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (6.51%) · Suspension ball joint slight play (2.95%) · Anti-roll bar ball joint slight play (1.85%)
