Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.41%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 1.6%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 1.11%
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 0.66%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Coil spring fractured or broken 0.51%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Tyre bulge from structural failure 0.47%
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 (12.69%) · Brake pads wearing thin (7.4%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (3.42%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (2.9%) · Tyre has a shallow cut (2.4%) · Spring mounting corroded, not weakened (2.17%)
