Top failures
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 3.08%
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 1.9%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 1.27%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Tyre pressure monitoring system faulty 0.76%
A faulty tyre pressure monitor cannot warn about low tyre pressure, so check tyres manually and have the fault diagnosed.
Headlamp aim set too high 0.59%
Headlamps aimed too high can dazzle other drivers, and adjusting them is usually a quick job.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 0.3%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Common advisories
Brake pads wearing thin (8.83%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (7.39%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (3.17%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (2.91%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (1.06%) · Tyre has a shallow cut (0.97%)
