Top failures
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.08%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 1.08%
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 0.64%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Diesel engine warning light faulty 0.43%
A lit or non-working engine warning light can hide faults, so diagnosis is needed before buying.
Headlamp aim set too high 0.41%
Headlamps aimed too high can dazzle other drivers, and adjusting them is usually a quick job.
Brake pads worn to wear indicator 0.33%
Pads worn to the indicator are at their limit, reducing braking and needing immediate replacement.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (9.85%) · Brake pads wearing thin (8.3%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (3.36%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (2.83%) · Nail in tyre, monitor (2.01%) · Brake discs showing some wear (1.72%)
