Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.62%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 1.62%
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 1.45%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Suspension arm pin/bush excessively worn 1.04%
Worn suspension arm bushes allow the wheel to move unpredictably, affecting steering, handling and tyre wear.
Tyre tear from structural failure 0.84%
A tear in the tyre's structure means it can fail suddenly, so it must be replaced before the car is driven.
Dipped beam headlamp not working 0.71%
A failed dipped beam makes it hard to see and be seen at night, so the lamp needs fixing before driving.
