Top failures
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 3.71%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 2.22%
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 1.74%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 1.3%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Windscreen washer fluid insufficient 1.22%
Washers are not supplying enough liquid, so the windscreen cannot be cleared properly, which is a safety issue.
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 1.18%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
Common advisories
Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (11.05%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (9.48%) · Brake pads wearing thin (6.1%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (5.14%) · Tyre has a shallow cut (4.03%) · Brake discs showing some wear (3.39%)
