Top failures
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 2.89%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 2.54%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.99%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Headlamp aim set too high 0.81%
Headlamps aimed too high can dazzle other drivers, and adjusting them is usually a quick job.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 0.77%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Parking brake efficiency below minimum 0.63%
The parking brake holds the car less well than required, so it may roll on a slope and needs repair.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (13.79%) · Brake pads wearing thin (13.27%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (6.52%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (6.16%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (3.35%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (2.81%)
