Top failures
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 0.94%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
CV joint boot split or insecure 0.77%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 0.71%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 0.39%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Headlamp aim set too high 0.36%
Headlamps aimed too high can dazzle other drivers, and adjusting them is usually a quick job.
Headlamp aim set too low 0.36%
Headlamps aimed too low light the road poorly and reduce the driver's view ahead, especially at night.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (7.79%) · Brake pads wearing thin (3.65%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (2.06%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (1.84%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (1.56%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (1.44%)
