Top failures
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 2.5%
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 2.15%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Headlamp aim set too low 1.21%
Headlamps aimed too low light the road poorly and reduce the driver's view ahead, especially at night.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.02%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Tyre pressure monitoring system faulty 0.98%
A faulty tyre pressure monitor cannot warn about low tyre pressure, so check tyres manually and have the fault diagnosed.
Windscreen washer fluid insufficient 0.7%
Washers are not supplying enough liquid, so the windscreen cannot be cleared properly, which is a safety issue.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (9.68%) · Brake pads wearing thin (7.69%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (4.88%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (4.45%) · Brake discs showing some wear (1.76%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (1.6%)
