Top failures
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.79%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.24%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Registration plate lamp not working 1.04%
A dark number plate lamp makes the plate hard to read at night, which is illegal and must be fixed.
Lambda reading outside specified limits 1.01%
An out-of-range lambda reading suggests poor fuel mixture or a failing catalytic converter, so diagnosis is needed.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 1.01%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Windscreen washer fluid insufficient 0.87%
Washers are not supplying enough liquid, so the windscreen cannot be cleared properly, which is a safety issue.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (11.44%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (5.59%) · Brake pads wearing thin (5.03%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (4.09%) · Service brake slightly binding (2.57%) · Brake discs showing some wear (1.4%)
