Top failures
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.78%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Windscreen washers not working 1.17%
Without working washers the windscreen cannot be cleaned while driving, which is a safety risk in dirty weather.
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.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 1%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Headlamp aim set too low 0.85%
Headlamps aimed too low light the road poorly and reduce the driver's view ahead, especially at night.
Windscreen washer fluid insufficient 0.72%
Washers are not supplying enough liquid, so the windscreen cannot be cleared properly, which is a safety issue.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (11.29%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (5.55%) · Brake pads wearing thin (5.19%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (4.77%) · Brake discs showing some wear (2.08%) · Nail in tyre, monitor (1.77%)
