Top failures
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.22%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Diesel engine warning light faulty 1.01%
A lit or non-working engine warning light can hide faults, so diagnosis is needed before buying.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 0.86%
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 0.43%
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 0.41%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Number plate does not meet standards 0.41%
The plate does not meet legal specifications, so it must be replaced with a compliant one before the car is driven.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (9.08%) · Brake pads wearing thin (5.15%) · Nail in tyre, monitor (1.83%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (1.68%) · Spring mounting corroded, not weakened (1.64%) · Tyre has a shallow cut (1.36%)
