Top failures
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.99%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Stop lamp not working 1.83%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 1.69%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.54%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 1.21%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 1.02%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (11.44%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (11.27%) · Brake pads wearing thin (8.84%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (4.82%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (1.53%) · Tyre has a shallow cut (1.51%)
