Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.63%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 1.02%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 0.99%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 0.48%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Headlamp aim set too low 0.44%
Headlamps aimed too low light the road poorly and reduce the driver's view ahead, especially at night.
Windscreen washer fluid insufficient 0.32%
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 (10.76%) · Brake pads wearing thin (5.11%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (4.86%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (2.44%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (1.9%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (1.45%)
