Top failures
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 2.77%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 2.71%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.12%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 1.64%
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 1.47%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Coil spring fractured or broken 1.34%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (18.04%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (11.22%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (9.06%) · Brake pads wearing thin (7.84%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (6.77%) · Suspension arm showing corrosion (4.22%)
