Top failures
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 2.59%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 1.25%
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 1.06%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Stop lamp not working 1.02%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 0.85%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Position lamp not working 0.81%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (12.23%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (9.8%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (7.62%) · Brake pads wearing thin (6.35%) · Brake discs showing some wear (1.84%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (1.83%)
