Top failures
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 4.06%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Stop lamp not working 3.65%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.95%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 2.26%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
CV joint boot split or insecure 2.26%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 2.17%
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 (20.05%) · Brake pads wearing thin (12.22%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (10.58%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (6.72%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (4.55%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (3.53%)
