Top failures
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 0.92%
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 0.72%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Windscreen washer fluid insufficient 0.6%
Washers are not supplying enough liquid, so the windscreen cannot be cleared properly, which is a safety issue.
Windscreen washers not working 0.56%
Without working washers the windscreen cannot be cleaned while driving, which is a safety risk in dirty weather.
Brake discs significantly worn 0.52%
Heavily worn discs reduce braking performance and wear pads faster, so a replacement will soon be needed.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 0.44%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Common advisories
Brake disc pitted or scored (7.69%) · Brake pads wearing thin (2.75%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (2.63%) · Nail in tyre, monitor (1.63%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (1.59%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (1.35%)
