Top failures
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 1.06%
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 0.79%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 0.69%
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 0.32%
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 0.3%
Washers are not supplying enough liquid, so the windscreen cannot be cleared properly, which is a safety issue.
Windscreen washers not working 0.26%
Without working washers the windscreen cannot be cleaned while driving, which is a safety risk in dirty weather.
Common advisories
Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (7.22%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (7.11%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (5.88%) · Brake pads wearing thin (4.64%) · Shock absorber light oil misting (2.18%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (1.88%)
