Top failures
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 3.46%
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 1.75%
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 1.67%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 1.12%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 0.89%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Headlamp aim set too low 0.67%
Headlamps aimed too low light the road poorly and reduce the driver's view ahead, especially at night.
Common advisories
Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (13.8%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (10.71%) · Brake pads wearing thin (8.11%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (7.4%) · Brake discs showing some wear (3.79%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (3.46%)
