The most common un-road worthy item found on cars is their tyres. Tyres need to be replaced if there is less than 2mm of tread. This is a major safety concern.
A chip in the windscreen can be distracting and cause blind spots in vehicles. Any chip larger than 1 cm which can be seen by the driver must be fixed or the whole windscreen replaced.
