Top failures
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 1.25%
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 0.96%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Shock absorber serious fluid leak 0.79%
A shock absorber leaking heavily has likely lost its damping, so the car will handle and brake less safely.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 0.69%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Suspension arm pin/bush excessively worn 0.57%
Worn suspension arm bushes allow the wheel to move unpredictably, affecting steering, handling and tyre wear.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 0.49%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (10.52%) · Shock absorber light oil misting (9.22%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (8.09%) · Brake pads wearing thin (6.99%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (4.19%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (3.48%)
