Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 0.48%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
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 0.24%
Headlamps aimed too high can dazzle other drivers, and adjusting them is usually a quick job.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 0.22%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Brake pads worn to wear indicator 0.12%
Pads worn to the indicator are at their limit, reducing braking and needing immediate replacement.
Number plate does not meet standards 0.12%
The plate does not meet legal specifications, so it must be replaced with a compliant one before the car is driven.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (3.96%) · Brake pads wearing thin (1.25%) · Nail in tyre, monitor (0.87%) · Tyre has a shallow cut (0.78%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (0.67%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (0.6%)
