Top failures
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 2.77%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Tyre pressure monitoring system faulty 1.76%
A faulty tyre pressure monitor cannot warn about low tyre pressure, so check tyres manually and have the fault diagnosed.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.51%
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 0.98%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Coil spring fractured or broken 0.89%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (10.71%) · Brake pads wearing thin (10.3%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (6.23%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (5.17%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (2.34%) · Anti-roll bar pin/bush showing wear (1.56%)
