Top failures
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.17%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.36%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Headlamp beam pattern obviously incorrect 1.18%
A wrongly shaped beam can dazzle other drivers and reduce your own view of the road, so the lamps need correcting.
Windscreen washers not working 1.09%
Without working washers the windscreen cannot be cleaned while driving, which is a safety risk in dirty weather.
Lambda reading outside specified limits 0.91%
An out-of-range lambda reading suggests poor fuel mixture or a failing catalytic converter, so diagnosis is needed.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 0.82%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (10.69%) · Linkage ball joint slight play (5.98%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (5.16%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (3.62%) · Sub-frame showing corrosion (3.53%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (3.44%)
