Top failures
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 5.78%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Dipped beam headlamp not working 2.16%
A failed dipped beam makes it hard to see and be seen at night, so the lamp needs fixing before driving.
Windscreen washer fluid insufficient 1.25%
Washers are not supplying enough liquid, so the windscreen cannot be cleared properly, which is a safety issue.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.18%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 0.91%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Diesel smoke above limit, post-2014 0.84%
Excess diesel smoke can point to poor combustion or engine wear, which can be costly, so check before buying.
Common advisories
Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (10.03%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (9.82%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (9.19%) · Brake pads wearing thin (6.89%) · Brake discs showing some wear (1.67%) · Indicator lens slightly discoloured (1.46%)
