Top failures
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 0.81%
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 0.63%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 0.39%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 0.24%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Headlamp aim set too low 0.22%
Headlamps aimed too low light the road poorly and reduce the driver's view ahead, especially at night.
Tyre bulge from structural failure 0.18%
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 (3.01%) · Brake pads wearing thin (2.01%) · Tyre has a shallow cut (1.02%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (0.71%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (0.67%) · Nail in tyre, monitor (0.45%)
