Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.61%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 0.96%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Engine warning light inoperative or lit 0.9%
An engine warning light that is lit or not working can hide faults, so diagnosis is needed before buying.
Windscreen washer fluid insufficient 0.84%
Washers are not supplying enough liquid, so the windscreen cannot be cleared properly, which is a safety issue.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 0.73%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 0.66%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (10.96%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (6.96%) · Brake pads wearing thin (4.88%) · Brake discs showing some wear (1.7%) · Shock absorber light oil misting (1.61%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (1.54%)
