Top failures
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 2.12%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Dipped beam headlamp not working 1.76%
A failed dipped beam makes it hard to see and be seen at night, so the lamp needs fixing before driving.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.68%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Side repeater not working 1.53%
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 1.14%
Washers are not supplying enough liquid, so the windscreen cannot be cleared properly, which is a safety issue.
Tyre pressure monitoring system faulty 1.07%
A faulty tyre pressure monitor cannot warn about low tyre pressure, so check tyres manually and have the fault diagnosed.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (12.69%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (9.41%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (8.71%) · Brake pads wearing thin (5.12%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (3.62%) · Brake discs showing some wear (2.3%)
