Top failures
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 2.48%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
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 1.02%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Headlamp aim set too high 0.75%
Headlamps aimed too high can dazzle other drivers, and adjusting them is usually a quick job.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 0.71%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Suspension arm pin/bush excessively worn 0.68%
Worn suspension arm bushes allow the wheel to move unpredictably, affecting steering, handling and tyre wear.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (10.3%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (8.26%) · Brake pads wearing thin (7.17%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (5.98%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (5.98%) · Brake discs showing some wear (2.28%)
