Top failures
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.12%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 1.11%
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 1.03%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
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.
Headlamp aim set too high 0.36%
Headlamps aimed too high can dazzle other drivers, and adjusting them is usually a quick job.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 0.35%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (9.14%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (8.15%) · Brake pads wearing thin (6.14%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (3.26%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (2.62%) · Nail in tyre, monitor (2.04%)
