Top failures
Coil spring fractured or broken 2.37%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 1.16%
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 1.08%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 0.58%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Brake pads worn to wear indicator 0.49%
Pads worn to the indicator are at their limit, reducing braking and needing immediate replacement.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 0.43%
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 (8.97%) · Brake pads wearing thin (7.7%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (2.47%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (1.75%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (1.71%) · Nail in tyre, monitor (1.6%)
