Top failures
Headlamp aim set too low 1.35%
Headlamps aimed too low light the road poorly and reduce the driver's view ahead, especially at night.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.15%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 0.7%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Windscreen washers not working 0.63%
Without working washers the windscreen cannot be cleaned while driving, which is a safety risk in dirty weather.
Windscreen washer fluid insufficient 0.49%
Washers are not supplying enough liquid, so the windscreen cannot be cleared properly, which is a safety issue.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 0.48%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Common advisories
Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (7.91%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (7.14%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (3.63%) · Brake discs showing some wear (2.62%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (1.71%) · Brake pads wearing thin (1.27%)
