Top failures
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 1.29%
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 1.17%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Brake discs significantly worn 0.83%
Heavily worn discs reduce braking performance and wear pads faster, so a replacement will soon be needed.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 0.69%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 0.59%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Windscreen washer fluid insufficient 0.45%
Washers are not supplying enough liquid, so the windscreen cannot be cleared properly, which is a safety issue.
Common advisories
Brake disc pitted or scored (7.72%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (6.22%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (4.15%) · Brake pads wearing thin (3.14%) · Brake discs showing some wear (1.94%) · Nail in tyre, monitor (1.46%)
