Tyre tread depth for PCP return

Can't find the answer. Does anybody know the minimum tyre tread depth for returning a PCP car?

Thinking it's 5mm, but no idea where I got that from!

Thanks

They just need to be legal. I.e above 1.6mm.

For a Scotsman the target tread depth at point of return would be 1.6mm
