Top failures
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 2.04%
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 1.07%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Headlamp aim set too low 0.86%
Headlamps aimed too low light the road poorly and reduce the driver's view ahead, especially at night.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 0.86%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 0.62%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
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.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (8.59%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (5.98%) · Brake pads wearing thin (2.67%) · Tyre has a shallow cut (2.34%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (1.38%) · Nail in tyre, monitor (1.34%)
