Top failures
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 2.85%
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 1.89%
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 1.06%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 0.94%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 0.53%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Tyre bulge from structural failure 0.37%
A bulge means the tyre's structure has failed and it could burst suddenly, so it must be replaced at once.
Common advisories
Brake pads wearing thin (11.8%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (9.78%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (7.23%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (2.65%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (2.56%) · Tyre has a shallow cut (2.15%)
