Top failures
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 0.54%
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 0.4%
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 0.4%
The plate does not meet legal specifications, so it must be replaced with a compliant one before the car is driven.
Engine warning light inoperative or lit 0.28%
An engine warning light that is lit or not working can hide faults, so diagnosis is needed before buying.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 0.26%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Tyre tear from structural failure 0.16%
A tear in the tyre's structure means it can fail suddenly, so it must be replaced before the car is driven.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (2.85%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (1.79%) · Tyre has a shallow cut (1.34%) · Brake pads wearing thin (1.13%) · Tyre showing slight damage (1.06%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (0.61%)
