Top failures
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 8.37%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Windscreen washer fluid insufficient 1.04%
Washers are not supplying enough liquid, so the windscreen cannot be cleared properly, which is a safety issue.
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.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 1.04%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 0.91%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 0.87%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (8.68%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (5.25%) · Brake pads wearing thin (4.57%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (4.37%) · Indicator lens slightly discoloured (1.55%) · Brake discs showing some wear (1.34%)
