Top failures
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 2.18%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Position lamp not working 1.49%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 1.21%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Stop lamp not working 0.98%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 0.86%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Rigid brake pipe excessively corroded 0.86%
Badly corroded brake pipes can leak or fail, which can cause a loss of braking, so repair is urgent.
Common advisories
Brake disc pitted or scored (13.91%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (9.43%) · Brake pads wearing thin (7.13%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (5.75%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (4.77%) · Sub-frame showing corrosion (1.32%)
