Top failures
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 1.68%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
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 ply or cords exposed 0.91%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Brake discs significantly worn 0.71%
Heavily worn discs reduce braking performance and wear pads faster, so a replacement will soon be needed.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 0.7%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Windscreen washers not working 0.59%
Without working washers the windscreen cannot be cleaned while driving, which is a safety risk in dirty weather.
Common advisories
Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (13.02%) · Brake pads wearing thin (8.35%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (8.05%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (6.73%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (2.47%) · Nail in tyre, monitor (1.45%)
