Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Tyre ply or cords exposed 1.06%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Windscreen washers not working 0.88%
Without working washers the windscreen cannot be cleaned while driving, which is a safety risk in dirty weather.
Tyre bulge from structural failure 0.8%
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 0.74%
Headlamps aimed too low light the road poorly and reduce the driver's view ahead, especially at night.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 0.65%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
LED or HID headlamp cleaner inoperative 0.65%
Without a working cleaner, dirt can build up on LED or HID lenses and reduce light output, so repair is needed.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (8.26%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (3.6%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (3.51%) · Brake pads wearing thin (2.62%) · Road wheel slightly distorted (2.12%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (1.98%)
