Top failures
Parking brake efficiency below minimum 1.76%
The parking brake holds the car less well than required, so it may roll on a slope and needs repair.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.55%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Airbag warning lamp shows fault 1.1%
A lit airbag warning means the airbag system may not deploy in a crash, so it needs diagnosing and repairing.
Dipped beam headlamp not working 1.04%
A failed dipped beam makes it hard to see and be seen at night, so the lamp needs fixing before driving.
Headlamp aim set too high 0.94%
Headlamps aimed too high can dazzle other drivers, and adjusting them is usually a quick job.
Headlamp aim set too low 0.84%
Headlamps aimed too low light the road poorly and reduce the driver's view ahead, especially at night.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (4.13%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (3.85%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (3.23%) · Brake pads wearing thin (2.93%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (2.9%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (2.88%)
