Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 0.95%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 0.76%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Tyre bulge from structural failure 0.38%
A bulge means the tyre's structure has failed and it could burst suddenly, so it must be replaced at once.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 0.29%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Number plate does not meet standards 0.29%
The plate does not meet legal specifications, so it must be replaced with a compliant one before the car is driven.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 0.19%
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 (3.71%) · Nail in tyre, monitor (0.95%) · Brake pads wearing thin (0.86%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (0.48%) · Tyre showing slight damage (0.48%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (0.29%)
