Top failures
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 2.46%
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 1.47%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.46%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Brake discs significantly worn 0.86%
Heavily worn discs reduce braking performance and wear pads faster, so a replacement will soon be needed.
Windscreen washer fluid insufficient 0.85%
Washers are not supplying enough liquid, so the windscreen cannot be cleared properly, which is a safety issue.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 0.82%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Common advisories
Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (15.03%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (10.49%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (10.12%) · Brake pads wearing thin (4.86%) · Anti-roll bar linkage pin/bush worn (4.33%) · Brake discs showing some wear (2.3%)
