Top failures
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 1.54%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 1.46%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.42%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 0.77%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Diesel engine warning light faulty 0.49%
A lit or non-working engine warning light can hide faults, so diagnosis is needed before buying.
Wheel nut, bolt or stud missing 0.45%
A missing wheel nut, bolt or stud can let the wheel come off, which is extremely dangerous and must be fixed at once.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (7.48%) · Brake pads wearing thin (3.09%) · Nail in tyre, monitor (2.11%) · Tyre has a shallow cut (1.79%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (1.63%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (1.46%)
