Top failures
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 1.89%
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 1.33%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Brake effort excessively fluctuating 0.74%
Uneven braking through each wheel turn can make stopping unpredictable, so the brakes need inspecting and repair.
Brake discs significantly worn 0.68%
Heavily worn discs reduce braking performance and wear pads faster, so a replacement will soon be needed.
Headlamp aim set too low 0.65%
Headlamps aimed too low light the road poorly and reduce the driver's view ahead, especially at night.
Brake disc excessively weakened or fractured 0.55%
A fractured or weakened disc can fail suddenly, causing serious braking loss, so it must be replaced before driving.
Common advisories
Brake disc pitted or scored (10.22%) · Brake pads wearing thin (7.63%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (7.05%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (6.39%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (1.8%) · Tyre has a shallow cut (1.59%)
