Top failures
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 1.14%
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 0.87%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Diesel engine warning light faulty 0.57%
A lit or non-working engine warning light can hide faults, so diagnosis is needed before buying.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 0.57%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Number plate does not meet standards 0.53%
The plate does not meet legal specifications, so it must be replaced with a compliant one before the car is driven.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 0.35%
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 (8.21%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (5.01%) · Brake pads wearing thin (4.71%) · Nail in tyre, monitor (2.15%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (1.62%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (1.58%)
