Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.46%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 1.13%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 0.81%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Windscreen washer fluid insufficient 0.81%
Washers are not supplying enough liquid, so the windscreen cannot be cleared properly, which is a safety issue.
Headlamp aim set too low 0.57%
Headlamps aimed too low light the road poorly and reduce the driver's view ahead, especially at night.
Tyre bulge from structural failure 0.49%
A bulge means the tyre's structure has failed and it could burst suddenly, so it must be replaced at once.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (10.67%) · Brake pads wearing thin (5.42%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (4.45%) · Brake discs showing some wear (2.18%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (1.46%) · Shock absorber light oil misting (1.37%)
