Top failures
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 0.92%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 0.41%
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 0.41%
A bulge means the tyre's structure has failed and it could burst suddenly, so it must be replaced at once.
Headlamp aim set too low 0.33%
Headlamps aimed too low light the road poorly and reduce the driver's view ahead, especially at night.
Number plate does not meet standards 0.32%
The plate does not meet legal specifications, so it must be replaced with a compliant one before the car is driven.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (9.41%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (3.39%) · Brake pads wearing thin (3.37%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (2.28%) · Tyre has a shallow cut (1.4%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (1.23%)
