Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Tyre ply or cords exposed 0.44%
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 0.43%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 0.34%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Number plate does not meet standards 0.33%
The plate does not meet legal specifications, so it must be replaced with a compliant one before the car is driven.
Lambda reading outside specified limits 0.21%
An out-of-range lambda reading suggests poor fuel mixture or a failing catalytic converter, so diagnosis is needed.
Coil spring fractured or broken 0.2%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (3.67%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (3.14%) · Nail in tyre, monitor (1.07%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (0.9%) · Tyre has a shallow cut (0.89%) · Brake pads wearing thin (0.76%)
