Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
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.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 1.14%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 0.73%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 0.57%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Diesel engine warning light faulty 0.38%
A lit or non-working engine warning light can hide faults, so diagnosis is needed before buying.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 0.32%
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 (11.48%) · Brake pads wearing thin (7.44%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (2%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (1.99%) · Spring mounting corroded, not weakened (1.99%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (1.89%)
