Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 0.63%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Tyre bulge from structural failure 0.53%
A bulge means the tyre's structure has failed and it could burst suddenly, so it must be replaced at once.
Windscreen washer fluid insufficient 0.53%
Washers are not supplying enough liquid, so the windscreen cannot be cleared properly, which is a safety issue.
Rigid brake pipe excessively corroded 0.45%
Badly corroded brake pipes can leak or fail, which can cause a loss of braking, so repair is urgent.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 0.45%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 0.37%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (4.94%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (3.88%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (3.68%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (3.43%) · Brake pads wearing thin (1.72%) · Nail in tyre, monitor (1.47%)
