Top failures
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 3.46%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 1.85%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.23%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 1.19%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Tyre bulge from structural failure 0.81%
A bulge means the tyre's structure has failed and it could burst suddenly, so it must be replaced at once.
Diesel engine warning light faulty 0.62%
A lit or non-working engine warning light can hide faults, so diagnosis is needed before buying.
