Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.38%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 1.38%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Brake discs significantly worn 0.94%
Heavily worn discs reduce braking performance and wear pads faster, so a replacement will soon be needed.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 0.91%
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 0.63%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Headlamp aim set too low 0.59%
Headlamps aimed too low light the road poorly and reduce the driver's view ahead, especially at night.

Brake disc pitted or scored (15.35%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (12.72%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (8.74%) · Brake pads wearing thin (7.09%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (2.56%) · Shock absorber light oil misting (2.17%)
