Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 0.68%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Number plate does not meet standards 0.34%
The plate does not meet legal specifications, so it must be replaced with a compliant one before the car is driven.
Headlamp aim set too low 0.31%
Headlamps aimed too low light the road poorly and reduce the driver's view ahead, especially at night.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 0.25%
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 0.25%
A bulge means the tyre's structure has failed and it could burst suddenly, so it must be replaced at once.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 0.19%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (3.73%) · Brake pads wearing thin (1.24%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (0.75%) · Tyre has a shallow cut (0.65%) · Nail in tyre, monitor (0.56%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (0.47%)
