Top failures
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.17%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 1.1%
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 0.93%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Number plate does not meet standards 0.23%
The plate does not meet legal specifications, so it must be replaced with a compliant one before the car is driven.
Airbag warning lamp shows fault 0.17%
A lit airbag warning means the airbag system may not deploy in a crash, so it needs diagnosing and repairing.
Headlamp aim set too high 0.15%
Headlamps aimed too high can dazzle other drivers, and adjusting them is usually a quick job.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (8.02%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (1.65%) · Nail in tyre, monitor (1.64%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (1.26%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (1.19%) · Tyre has a shallow cut (1.16%)
