Top failures
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 0.46%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Tyre bulge from structural failure 0.37%
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 0.29%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Number plate does not meet standards 0.27%
The plate does not meet legal specifications, so it must be replaced with a compliant one before the car is driven.
Rear fog lamp not working 0.24%
A failed rear fog lamp reduces visibility in fog and leaves you less visible to following traffic, so repair it.
Engine warning light inoperative or lit 0.24%
An engine warning light that is lit or not working can hide faults, so diagnosis is needed before buying.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (2.7%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (2.19%) · Brake pads wearing thin (1.12%) · Tyre has a shallow cut (1.1%) · Tyre showing slight damage (0.66%) · Nail in tyre, monitor (0.66%)
