Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Tyre ply or cords exposed 2.11%
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 1.43%
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 1.1%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 0.84%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Number plate does not meet standards 0.25%
The plate does not meet legal specifications, so it must be replaced with a compliant one before the car is driven.
Tyre tear from structural failure 0.17%
A tear in the tyre's structure means it can fail suddenly, so it must be replaced before the car is driven.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (11.39%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (2.78%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (2.19%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (1.6%) · Tyre has a shallow cut (1.1%) · Shock absorber light oil misting (1.1%)
