Top failures
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 3.35%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 2.76%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 1.53%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Headlamp aim set too high 1.16%
Headlamps aimed too high can dazzle other drivers, and adjusting them is usually a quick job.
Windscreen washer fluid insufficient 0.53%
Washers are not supplying enough liquid, so the windscreen cannot be cleared properly, which is a safety issue.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 0.52%
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 (16%) · Brake pads wearing thin (7.9%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (5.22%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (3.14%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (2.69%) · Brake discs showing some wear (2.16%)
