Top failures
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.82%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.35%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Registration plate lamp not working 1.09%
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 1.04%
An out-of-range lambda reading suggests poor fuel mixture or a failing catalytic converter, so diagnosis is needed.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 0.7%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Service brake excessively binding 0.67%
A brake that drags when released can overheat, wear quickly and waste fuel, so it needs prompt inspection.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (10.24%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (5.44%) · Brake pads wearing thin (5.08%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (3.59%) · Service brake slightly binding (2.22%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (1.43%)
