Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 0.77%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 0.77%
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 0.76%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Headlamp aim set too low 0.61%
Headlamps aimed too low light the road poorly and reduce the driver's view ahead, especially at night.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 0.33%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Number plate does not meet standards 0.18%
The plate does not meet legal specifications, so it must be replaced with a compliant one before the car is driven.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (10.22%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (3.5%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (1.96%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (1.33%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (1.23%) · Nail in tyre, monitor (1.18%)
