Top failures
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 0.72%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Tyre bulge from structural failure 0.64%
A bulge means the tyre's structure has failed and it could burst suddenly, so it must be replaced at once.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 0.51%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Tyre pressure monitoring system faulty 0.19%
A faulty tyre pressure monitor cannot warn about low tyre pressure, so check tyres manually and have the fault diagnosed.
Windscreen washers not working 0.13%
Without working washers the windscreen cannot be cleaned while driving, which is a safety risk in dirty weather.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 0.11%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Common advisories
Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (4.4%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (4.19%) · Nail in tyre, monitor (1.17%) · Tyre has a shallow cut (0.77%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (0.48%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (0.32%)
