Top failures

Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 2.63%
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 1.26%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Position lamp not working 1.19%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Side repeater not working 1.02%
A failed side repeater means other road users cannot see your intended direction change, which is dangerous and must be fixed.
Windscreen washer fluid insufficient 0.81%
Washers are not supplying enough liquid, so the windscreen cannot be cleared properly, which is a safety issue.
Stop lamp not working 0.81%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.

Common advisories

Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (9.85%) · Brake pads wearing thin (8.1%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (7.54%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (6.52%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (2%) · Coil spring showing some corrosion (1.12%)
