Top failures
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 4.38%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Coil spring fractured or broken 3.36%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.48%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Windscreen washer fluid insufficient 0.67%
Washers are not supplying enough liquid, so the windscreen cannot be cleared properly, which is a safety issue.
Suspension arm pin/bush excessively worn 0.56%
Worn suspension arm bushes allow the wheel to move unpredictably, affecting steering, handling and tyre wear.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 0.47%
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 (11.37%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (10.65%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (2.51%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (2.34%) · Brake pads wearing thin (2.26%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (1.21%)
