Top failures
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 3.35%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.96%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.84%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 1.55%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
Dipped beam headlamp not working 1.39%
A failed dipped beam makes it hard to see and be seen at night, so the lamp needs fixing before driving.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 1.02%
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 (14.58%) · Brake pads wearing thin (13.31%) · Slight play in steering rack joints (12.29%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (8.9%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (3.8%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (3.51%)
