Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.58%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Suspension arm pin/bush excessively worn 1.35%
Worn suspension arm bushes allow the wheel to move unpredictably, affecting steering, handling and tyre wear.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 1.28%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 1.21%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Diesel engine warning light faulty 1.21%
A lit or non-working engine warning light can hide faults, so diagnosis is needed before buying.
CV joint boot split or insecure 1.15%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (14.43%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (7.05%) · Brake pads wearing thin (5.93%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (3.44%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (2.52%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (2.24%)
