Top failures
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 2.34%
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 1.75%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Rigid brake pipe excessively corroded 1.31%
Badly corroded brake pipes can leak or fail, which can cause a loss of braking, so repair is urgent.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.28%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Headlamp aim set too high 1.25%
Headlamps aimed too high can dazzle other drivers, and adjusting them is usually a quick job.
Position lamp not working 1.22%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (10.97%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (7.43%) · Brake pads wearing thin (7.1%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (4.68%) · Anti-roll bar pin/bush showing wear (2.19%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (1.8%)
