Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 1.46%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.2%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.11%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 0.59%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Windscreen washer fluid insufficient 0.39%
Washers are not supplying enough liquid, so the windscreen cannot be cleared properly, which is a safety issue.
Tyre bulge from structural failure 0.36%
A bulge means the tyre's structure has failed and it could burst suddenly, so it must be replaced at once.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (7.82%) · Brake pads wearing thin (2.69%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (1.9%) · Nail in tyre, monitor (1.58%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (1.54%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (1.45%)
