Top failures
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 0.66%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 0.55%
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 0.44%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Headlamp aim set too low 0.38%
Headlamps aimed too low light the road poorly and reduce the driver's view ahead, especially at night.
Tyre bulge from structural failure 0.27%
A bulge means the tyre's structure has failed and it could burst suddenly, so it must be replaced at once.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 0.22%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (3.46%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (1.81%) · Tyre has a shallow cut (0.88%) · Nail in tyre, monitor (0.82%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (0.6%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (0.49%)
