Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Tyre ply or cords exposed 4.43%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.8%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 1.33%
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 0.92%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Tyre pressure monitoring system faulty 0.66%
A faulty tyre pressure monitor cannot warn about low tyre pressure, so check tyres manually and have the fault diagnosed.
CV joint boot split or insecure 0.54%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (15.78%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (3.15%) · Brake pads wearing thin (2.77%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (2.27%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (2.08%) · Tyre has a shallow cut (1.9%)
