AutoPump announces a new digital tyre tread depth gauge for UK drivers. The device provides accurate measurements to help vehicle owners ensure that their tyres meet the legal depth required to pass MOT checks - improving road safety and compliance in the process.
-- AutoPump has announced its digital tyre tread depth gauge, designed to help UK drivers confirm the legality of their vehicle's tyres. The tool supports regular tyre maintenance - a practice closely governed by national safety regulations.

UK law requires a minimum tyre tread depth of 1.6mm across the middle three-quarters of the tyre's width. Such standards are mandated, and drivers who fail to adhere accordingly can find themselves the recipient of fines up to £2,500 along with three penalty points per tyre, warns AutoPump.
One National Tyre Distributors Association (NTDA) study found that approximately 40% of vehicles have tyres that are either illegal or barely meet the legal depth, reducing grip. Moreover, TyreSafe reports that over six million illegal tyres are found on UK roads annually, indicating a widespread risk. AutoPump’s latest product is set to address such tendencies.
With precision digital technology, the device allows for immediate and accurate tread measurements. AutoPump has observed that making regular tyre checks should be a simple process for any vehicle owner - basing its product’s user-friendly design around such demands.
Drivers can contribute to national road safety by monitoring consistently, adds the company. Defective tyres are a known factor in serious traffic incidents - with data indicating that 190 people were killed or seriously injured in collisions involving defective tyres in 2023 alone.
In response, AutoPump’s instrument gives drivers a way to proactively verify their vehicle's compliance and safety. The team notes that incorporating this check into a regular routine is beneficial for all drivers - including daily commuters and professional drivers.
Aside from safety and legal implications, AutoPump reminds drivers that tyre condition and tread depth are key components of their annual MOT test. Tyres that fail to meet the required standards will lead to an immediate test failure. As such, AutoPump’s gauge prompts drivers to assess their tyres before an inspection - boosting their chances of passing in turn.
“Bought this after a close call with worn tyres,” said one recent customer. “Now, I feel much more secure knowing exactly when to replace them. Great tool.”
AutoPump continues its ongoing focus on the supply of easy-to-use automotive tools. The company's mission is to provide vehicle owners with reliable equipment that streamlines required maintenance tasks - and its digital tyre tread depth gauge is seen as a worthy complement to its signature tyre pump tool.
