Top failures
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 4.16%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Headlamp aim set too high 0.62%
Headlamps aimed too high can dazzle other drivers, and adjusting them is usually a quick job.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 0.54%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 0.53%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Windscreen washers not working 0.48%
Without working washers the windscreen cannot be cleaned while driving, which is a safety risk in dirty weather.
Windscreen washer fluid insufficient 0.44%
Washers are not supplying enough liquid, so the windscreen cannot be cleared properly, which is a safety issue.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (8.63%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (4.1%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (4.09%) · Brake pads wearing thin (2.84%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (1.16%) · Nail in tyre, monitor (1.16%)
