Top failures
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.64%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 1.12%
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 1.04%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Coil spring fractured or broken 1.04%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 0.67%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Engine warning light inoperative or lit 0.6%
An engine warning light that is lit or not working can hide faults, so diagnosis is needed before buying.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (8.86%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (6.48%) · Brake pads wearing thin (4.62%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (3.13%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (2.08%) · Nail in tyre, monitor (1.27%)
