Top failures
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 2.17%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Tyre pressure monitoring system faulty 1.38%
A faulty tyre pressure monitor cannot warn about low tyre pressure, so check tyres manually and have the fault diagnosed.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.29%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Service brake excessively binding 0.88%
A brake that drags when released can overheat, wear quickly and waste fuel, so it needs prompt inspection.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 0.6%
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 0.55%
Worn anti-roll bar bushes cause knocking noises and reduce handling stability, so they should be replaced.
Common advisories
Brake pads wearing thin (8.91%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (6%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (2.72%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (2.35%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (1.52%) · Anti-roll bar pin/bush showing wear (1.48%)
