Top failures
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 0.87%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 0.68%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 0.51%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 0.34%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Windscreen washer fluid insufficient 0.33%
Washers are not supplying enough liquid, so the windscreen cannot be cleared properly, which is a safety issue.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 0.17%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (4.24%) · Brake pads wearing thin (3.38%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (2.85%) · Nail in tyre, monitor (1.54%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (1.1%) · Tyre has a shallow cut (0.87%)
