Top failures
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 0.67%
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 0.32%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Tyre bulge from structural failure 0.28%
A bulge means the tyre's structure has failed and it could burst suddenly, so it must be replaced at once.
Number plate does not meet standards 0.28%
The plate does not meet legal specifications, so it must be replaced with a compliant one before the car is driven.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 0.25%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Suspension arm pin/bush excessively worn 0.21%
Worn suspension arm bushes allow the wheel to move unpredictably, affecting steering, handling and tyre wear.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (4.33%) · Brake pads wearing thin (1.63%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (1.53%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (1.03%) · Nail in tyre, monitor (0.82%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (0.67%)
