Top failures
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 3.61%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 0.82%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Windscreen washer fluid insufficient 0.77%
Washers are not supplying enough liquid, so the windscreen cannot be cleared properly, which is a safety issue.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 0.64%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Wheel bearing excessively rough 0.6%
A rough or noisy bearing is wearing out and may fail, so it should be inspected and replaced before it worsens.
Side repeater not working 0.56%
A failed side repeater means other road users cannot see your intended direction change, which is dangerous and must be fixed.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (9.74%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (9.46%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (3.52%) · Brake pads wearing thin (2.23%) · Shock absorber light oil misting (1.86%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (1.59%)
