Top failures
Dipped beam headlamp not working 1.98%
A failed dipped beam makes it hard to see and be seen at night, so the lamp needs fixing before driving.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.72%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.18%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Tyre pressure monitoring system faulty 1.09%
A faulty tyre pressure monitor cannot warn about low tyre pressure, so check tyres manually and have the fault diagnosed.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 1.03%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 0.97%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (10.39%) · Brake pads wearing thin (7.22%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (6.84%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (4.85%) · Tyre has a shallow cut (2.82%) · Brake discs showing some wear (2.41%)
