Top failures
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.47%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 1.3%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 1.26%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 0.8%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Rear fog lamp not working 0.67%
A failed rear fog lamp reduces visibility in fog and leaves you less visible to following traffic, so repair it.
Tyre bulge from structural failure 0.64%
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 (11.91%) · Brake pads wearing thin (5.08%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (4.46%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (3.96%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (3.16%) · Brake discs showing some wear (2.26%)
