Top failures
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 2.73%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Registration plate lamp not working 1.66%
A dark number plate lamp makes the plate hard to read at night, which is illegal and must be fixed.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 1.49%
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 1.05%
Headlamps aimed too high can dazzle other drivers, and adjusting them is usually a quick job.
Headlamp aim set too low 0.94%
Headlamps aimed too low light the road poorly and reduce the driver's view ahead, especially at night.
Parking brake efficiency below minimum 0.9%
The parking brake holds the car less well than required, so it may roll on a slope and needs repair.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (7.39%) · Brake pads wearing thin (6.17%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (2.74%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (2.68%) · Shock absorber light oil misting (1.81%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (1.18%)
