Top failures
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 1.59%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.28%
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 0.85%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 0.6%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 0.33%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Tyre bulge from structural failure 0.28%
A bulge means the tyre's structure has failed and it could burst suddenly, so it must be replaced at once.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (4.98%) · Brake pads wearing thin (4.9%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (3.43%) · Tyre has a shallow cut (1.81%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (1.26%) · Nail in tyre, monitor (0.94%)
