Top failures
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.57%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 1.27%
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 0.91%
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 0.55%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Number plate does not meet standards 0.55%
The plate does not meet legal specifications, so it must be replaced with a compliant one before the car is driven.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 0.51%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (6.16%) · Brake pads wearing thin (5.66%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (4.36%) · Tyre has a shallow cut (2.16%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (1.68%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (1.47%)
