Top failures
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 0.62%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 0.51%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 0.38%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Headlamp aim set too high 0.26%
Headlamps aimed too high can dazzle other drivers, and adjusting them is usually a quick job.
Number plate does not meet standards 0.23%
The plate does not meet legal specifications, so it must be replaced with a compliant one before the car is driven.
Tyre pressure monitoring system faulty 0.15%
A faulty tyre pressure monitor cannot warn about low tyre pressure, so check tyres manually and have the fault diagnosed.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (3.24%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (2.52%) · Nail in tyre, monitor (1.47%) · Tyre has a shallow cut (0.91%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (0.51%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (0.49%)
