Top failures
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 0.57%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Stop lamp not working 0.35%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Windscreen washers not working 0.32%
Without working washers the windscreen cannot be cleaned while driving, which is a safety risk in dirty weather.
Engine warning light inoperative or lit 0.25%
An engine warning light that is lit or not working can hide faults, so diagnosis is needed before buying.
Headlamp aim set too high 0.19%
Headlamps aimed too high can dazzle other drivers, and adjusting them is usually a quick job.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 0.13%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (5.8%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (3.07%) · Tyre has a shallow cut (1.14%) · Nail in tyre, monitor (0.89%) · Brake pads wearing thin (0.7%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (0.67%)
