Top failures
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 1.07%
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 0.99%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 0.78%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Tyre bulge from structural failure 0.72%
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 0.39%
The plate does not meet legal specifications, so it must be replaced with a compliant one before the car is driven.
Tyre pressure monitoring system faulty 0.39%
A faulty tyre pressure monitor cannot warn about low tyre pressure, so check tyres manually and have the fault diagnosed.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (7.3%) · Brake pads wearing thin (1.91%) · Nail in tyre, monitor (1.27%) · Tyre has a shallow cut (1.25%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (1.09%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (1.05%)
