Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 0.91%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 0.84%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Tyre bulge from structural failure 0.73%
A bulge means the tyre's structure has failed and it could burst suddenly, so it must be replaced at once.
Engine warning light inoperative or lit 0.22%
An engine warning light that is lit or not working can hide faults, so diagnosis is needed before buying.
Headlamp aim set too high 0.22%
Headlamps aimed too high can dazzle other drivers, and adjusting them is usually a quick job.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 0.18%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (4.6%) · Brake pads wearing thin (1.53%) · Tyre has a shallow cut (1.17%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (1.06%) · Nail in tyre, monitor (1.02%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (0.84%)
