I don't like advisories, to me it is a fault full stop.
I think that's a bit harsh, things can be worn but still legal or fit for purpose such as brakes and tyres and as mentioned some get advisories for under trays. Just plucking figures out of the air, disc pads or tyres down to 5mm when new are 10mm and wear limit is down to 3mm, an advisory is a way of making the "driver" aware that things are on their way out and should be monitored or although still fit for purpose, changed.
