Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
CV joint boot split or insecure 3.69%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Coil spring fractured or broken 3.62%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Headlamp beam pattern obviously incorrect 3.51%
A wrongly shaped beam can dazzle other drivers and reduce your own view of the road, so the lamps need correcting.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.87%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Position lamp not working 2.65%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Ball joint dust cover no longer sealed 2.62%
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the joint, speeding wear, so the joint may need replacing later.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (16.96%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (13.38%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (10.73%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (9.4%) · Flexible brake hose slightly deteriorated (5.74%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (5.72%)
