Top failures
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 0.86%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 0.78%
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 0.36%
A bulge means the tyre's structure has failed and it could burst suddenly, so it must be replaced at once.
Number plate does not meet standards 0.26%
The plate does not meet legal specifications, so it must be replaced with a compliant one before the car is driven.
Windscreen washers not working 0.26%
Without working washers the windscreen cannot be cleaned while driving, which is a safety risk in dirty weather.
Windscreen washer fluid insufficient 0.18%
Washers are not supplying enough liquid, so the windscreen cannot be cleared properly, which is a safety issue.
Common advisories
Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (5.54%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (4.78%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (1.56%) · Nail in tyre, monitor (1.46%) · Tyre has a shallow cut (1.01%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (0.94%)
