Top failures
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.17%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 1.98%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Suspension arm pin/bush excessively worn 1.72%
Worn suspension arm bushes allow the wheel to move unpredictably, affecting steering, handling and tyre wear.
Coil spring fractured or broken 1.48%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Registration plate lamp not working 1.37%
A dark number plate lamp makes the plate hard to read at night, which is illegal and must be fixed.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 0.96%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (14.33%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (7.92%) · Sub-frame showing corrosion (6.59%) · Brake pads wearing thin (4.87%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (4.83%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (2.96%)
