Top failures
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.29%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 1.21%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 1.18%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Windscreen washer fluid insufficient 0.44%
Washers are not supplying enough liquid, so the windscreen cannot be cleared properly, which is a safety issue.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 0.44%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Tyre pressure monitoring system faulty 0.39%
A faulty tyre pressure monitor cannot warn about low tyre pressure, so check tyres manually and have the fault diagnosed.
Common advisories
Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (12.36%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (9.57%) · Brake pads wearing thin (9.06%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (8.89%) · Shock absorber light oil misting (2.71%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (2.57%)
