Top failures
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 6.81%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Windscreen washers not working 1.32%
Without working washers the windscreen cannot be cleaned while driving, which is a safety risk in dirty weather.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 1.15%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.13%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Coil spring fractured or broken 1.09%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Headlamp aim set too high 1.09%
Headlamps aimed too high can dazzle other drivers, and adjusting them is usually a quick job.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (11.32%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (7.1%) · Brake pads wearing thin (6.43%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (4.56%) · Nail in tyre, monitor (1.76%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (1.71%)
