Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Tyre ply or cords exposed 1.64%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 1.3%
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 1.24%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Dipped beam headlamp not working 0.79%
A failed dipped beam makes it hard to see and be seen at night, so the lamp needs fixing before driving.
Tyre bulge from structural failure 0.65%
A bulge means the tyre's structure has failed and it could burst suddenly, so it must be replaced at once.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (12.69%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (8.33%) · Brake pads wearing thin (4.8%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (4.21%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (2.86%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (2.31%)
