Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Position lamp not working 3.45%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Diesel engine warning light faulty 2.33%
A lit or non-working engine warning light can hide faults, so diagnosis is needed before buying.
Anti-roll bar linkage pin/bush excessively worn 2.25%
Worn linkage pins or bushes cause knocking and poor handling, and can get worse, so they need replacing.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 2.25%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Suspension arm pin/bush excessively worn 2.17%
Worn suspension arm bushes allow the wheel to move unpredictably, affecting steering, handling and tyre wear.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 2.09%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (20.13%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (15.24%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (6.98%) · Flexible brake hose slightly deteriorated (6.66%) · Brake pads wearing thin (6.09%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (5.61%)
