Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Tyre bulge from structural failure 0.77%
A bulge means the tyre's structure has failed and it could burst suddenly, so it must be replaced at once.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 0.46%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Headlamp aim set too low 0.46%
Headlamps aimed too low light the road poorly and reduce the driver's view ahead, especially at night.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 0.39%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Number plate does not meet standards 0.39%
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 0.31%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Common advisories
Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (3.86%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (3.08%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (0.85%) · Tyre has a shallow cut (0.77%) · Tyre showing slight damage (0.54%) · Shock absorber light oil misting (0.46%)
