A vehicle arrived for testing to a centre with a a tire that raised serious concerns with inspectors.
The tyre in question was deemed unfit for road use, placing not only the driver but also other road users at a heightened risk of accidents. Consequently, the vehicle received a "fail dangerous" result.
