Top failures
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.77%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Headlamp aim set too high 1.61%
Headlamps aimed too high can dazzle other drivers, and adjusting them is usually a quick job.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 1.35%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 1.35%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Tyre bulge from structural failure 0.5%
A bulge means the tyre's structure has failed and it could burst suddenly, so it must be replaced at once.
Headlamp aim set too low 0.5%
Headlamps aimed too low light the road poorly and reduce the driver's view ahead, especially at night.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (10.28%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (7.57%) · Brake pads wearing thin (6.61%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (2.2%) · Brake discs showing some wear (1.54%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (1.42%)
