Top failures
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 2.51%
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 2.23%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Headlamp aim set too high 1.36%
Headlamps aimed too high can dazzle other drivers, and adjusting them is usually a quick job.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.32%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Windscreen washer fluid insufficient 0.99%
Washers are not supplying enough liquid, so the windscreen cannot be cleared properly, which is a safety issue.
Position lamp not working 0.86%
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 (11.58%) · Brake pads wearing thin (7.42%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (5.41%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (4.2%) · Anti-roll bar pin/bush showing wear (1.61%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (1.55%)
