Top failures
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 3.87%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 2.12%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
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.
Number plate does not meet standards 1.02%
The plate does not meet legal specifications, so it must be replaced with a compliant one before the car is driven.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 0.88%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Tyre bulge from structural failure 0.8%
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 (13.89%) · Brake pads wearing thin (5.92%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (2.56%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (2.41%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (1.68%) · Brake discs showing some wear (1.61%)
