Top failures
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 2.01%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.5%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Exhaust has major gas leak 1.38%
A major exhaust leak can let poisonous gas into the car and is illegal, so it must be repaired before driving.
Service brake excessively binding 0.94%
A brake that drags when released can overheat, wear quickly and waste fuel, so it needs prompt inspection.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 0.69%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Anti-roll bar pin or bush excessively worn 0.63%
Worn anti-roll bar bushes cause knocking noises and reduce handling stability, so they should be replaced.
Common advisories
Brake pads wearing thin (6.27%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (6.02%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (5.89%) · Exhaust has minor gas leak (3.39%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (3.01%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (2.88%)
