Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Position lamp not working 1.46%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Coil spring fractured or broken 1.3%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Engine warning light inoperative or lit 0.75%
An engine warning light that is lit or not working can hide faults, so diagnosis is needed before buying.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 0.75%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Stop lamp not working 0.67%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Windscreen washers not working 0.55%
Without working washers the windscreen cannot be cleaned while driving, which is a safety risk in dirty weather.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (5.28%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (4.34%) · Brake pads wearing thin (3.23%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (1.93%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (1.77%) · Shock absorber light oil misting (1.73%)
