Top failures
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 4.53%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Windscreen washer fluid insufficient 1.46%
Washers are not supplying enough liquid, so the windscreen cannot be cleared properly, which is a safety issue.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.07%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Tyre pressure monitoring system faulty 0.65%
A faulty tyre pressure monitor cannot warn about low tyre pressure, so check tyres manually and have the fault diagnosed.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 0.65%
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 0.65%
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 (10.13%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (5.83%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (4.22%) · Brake pads wearing thin (3.61%) · Brake discs showing some wear (2.38%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (2.34%)
