Top failures
Tyre bulge from structural failure 1.06%
A bulge means the tyre's structure has failed and it could burst suddenly, so it must be replaced at once.
Headlamp aim set too low 0.73%
Headlamps aimed too low light the road poorly and reduce the driver's view ahead, especially at night.
Windscreen washer fluid insufficient 0.57%
Washers are not supplying enough liquid, so the windscreen cannot be cleared properly, which is a safety issue.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 0.49%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Tyre lump from structural separation 0.49%
A tyre lump means its structure has partly failed and it could burst, so replace it immediately.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 0.41%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (4.57%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (4.32%) · Brake pads wearing thin (3.02%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (2.53%) · Brake discs showing some wear (2.04%) · Shock absorber light oil misting (1.39%)
