Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Coil spring fractured or broken 8.58%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Dipped beam headlamp not working 2.68%
A failed dipped beam makes it hard to see and be seen at night, so the lamp needs fixing before driving.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.29%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 2.1%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 2.09%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Windscreen washer fluid insufficient 1.84%
Washers are not supplying enough liquid, so the windscreen cannot be cleared properly, which is a safety issue.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (14.8%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (14.45%) · Coil spring showing some corrosion (10.95%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (9.21%) · Brake pads wearing thin (5.9%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (5.84%)
