Based on the failure profile above, ten minutes with a torch before your test removes the most likely fail items:

  • Check tread with the 20p test and inspect sidewalls for cracking — tyres close to the limit are the country’s most common advisory
  • Replace smeared wiper blades and top up washer fluid — both are test items
Engine management light on?
