Top failures
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 1.55%
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 1.44%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.3%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Airbag warning lamp shows fault 1.1%
A lit airbag warning means the airbag system may not deploy in a crash, so it needs diagnosing and repairing.
Ball joint dust cover no longer sealed 1.08%
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the joint, speeding wear, so the joint may need replacing later.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 0.91%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Common advisories
Brake pads wearing thin (7.32%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (5.62%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (3.8%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (2.79%) · Brake discs showing some wear (2.06%) · Tyre has a shallow cut (2.05%)
