Top failures
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.73%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Windscreen washer fluid insufficient 1.57%
Washers are not supplying enough liquid, so the windscreen cannot be cleared properly, which is a safety issue.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 1.33%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Windscreen washers not working 1.25%
Without working washers the windscreen cannot be cleaned while driving, which is a safety risk in dirty weather.
Tyre bulge from structural failure 1.1%
A bulge means the tyre's structure has failed and it could burst suddenly, so it must be replaced at once.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 0.86%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (11.45%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (5.65%) · Brake pads wearing thin (3.29%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (2.51%) · Nail in tyre, monitor (2.12%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (2.04%)
