Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Tyre ply or cords exposed 1.26%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 1.06%
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 0.53%
A bulge means the tyre's structure has failed and it could burst suddenly, so it must be replaced at once.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 0.53%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Tyre tear from structural failure 0.27%
A tear in the tyre's structure means it can fail suddenly, so it must be replaced before the car is driven.
Headlamp aim set too high 0.2%
Headlamps aimed too high can dazzle other drivers, and adjusting them is usually a quick job.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (4.39%) · Brake pads wearing thin (1.33%) · Nail in tyre, monitor (0.86%) · Tyre has a shallow cut (0.8%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (0.67%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (0.6%)
