Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Tyre ply or cords exposed 1.39%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 1.1%
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 0.69%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 0.58%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Headlamp aim set too low 0.33%
Headlamps aimed too low light the road poorly and reduce the driver's view ahead, especially at night.
Headlamp aim set too high 0.22%
Headlamps aimed too high can dazzle other drivers, and adjusting them is usually a quick job.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (9.39%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (2.63%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (1.79%) · Tyre has a shallow cut (1.46%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (1.42%) · Nail in tyre, monitor (0.95%)
