Top failures
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.16%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 2.09%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Anti-roll bar linkage ball joint worn 1.45%
A worn linkage ball joint can rattle, affect handling and eventually fail, so it should be replaced.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.16%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 1%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
CV joint boot split or insecure 0.97%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (14.94%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (9.91%) · Brake pads wearing thin (9.77%) · Linkage ball joint slight play (4.95%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (3.38%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (3.33%)
