Top failures
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 0.84%
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 0.61%
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 0.49%
Headlamps aimed too low light the road poorly and reduce the driver's view ahead, especially at night.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 0.47%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 0.38%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Headlamp aim set too high 0.31%
Headlamps aimed too high can dazzle other drivers, and adjusting them is usually a quick job.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (5.52%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (5.08%) · Nail in tyre, monitor (0.96%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (0.85%) · Tyre has a shallow cut (0.81%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (0.81%)
