Ordiniq has introduced a digital tyre tread depth gauge to address the UK’s tyre-related MOT failure crisis. Industry statistics indicate that more than 2 million vehicles fail their annual tests due to tyre defects. As such, the new tool provides drivers with a straightforward method to check tread depth accurately – helping them prepare for MOT inspections and reducing the risk of non-compliance with legal standards.

At present, a minimum tread depth of 1.6mm is mandated across the central three-quarters of tyres to pass MOT inspections. Safety experts such as MIRA recommend replacing tyres once the tread reaches 3mm, with stopping distances known to increase dramatically below this threshold. Motorists who fail to maintain adequate tread face fines as well as penalty points on their licence – consequences that most are eager to avoid.

Yet, research reveals that 40% of UK motorists are less than confident in their ability to perform a tyre tread check – with respondents either unable to correctly identify, or are unaware of, the legal minimum tread depth.

In response, Ordiniq’s digital gauge eliminates the guesswork inherent in visual assessments by delivering precise, repeatable measurements through clear numerical readouts. Unlike subjective manual checks or less accurate analogue tools, digital technology removes human estimation errors and provides drivers with unambiguous data they can trust when assessing whether their tyres meet legal and safety requirements.

The Ordiniq gauge comes with an intuitive interface that delivers immediate digital readouts, enabling drivers to monitor their tyre condition proactively. Through regular checks, motorists can stay within legal limits and maintain confidence in their vehicle’s roadworthiness – with the product facilitating easier upkeep.

Customer testimonials highlight the tool’s simplicity, with one verified buyer noting the crystal-clear digital display that allows for prompt pre-trip inspections.

Another user added: “Bought this after a close call with worn tyres. Now, I feel much more secure knowing exactly when to replace them.”

With the latest product launch, Ordiniq extends its broader efforts to strengthen road safety culture across the UK. The device is added to a growing inventory that also includes colour-changing pressure caps alongside a signature automatic tyre inflator for optimal tyre maintenance.
