Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.97%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.77%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 1.57%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 1.05%
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 0.65%
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 0.57%
Headlamps aimed too low light the road poorly and reduce the driver's view ahead, especially at night.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (11.95%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (10.75%) · Brake pads wearing thin (9.02%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (4.03%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (1.55%) · Tyre has a shallow cut (1.5%)
