Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Tyre bulge from structural failure 0.66%
A bulge means the tyre's structure has failed and it could burst suddenly, so it must be replaced at once.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 0.43%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Tyre lump from structural separation 0.21%
A tyre lump means its structure has partly failed and it could burst, so replace it immediately.
Number plate does not meet standards 0.17%
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 0.14%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 0.12%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Common advisories
Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (1.84%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (1.7%) · Nail in tyre, monitor (0.87%) · Tyre has a shallow cut (0.66%) · Tyre showing slight damage (0.38%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (0.35%)
