Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Coil spring fractured or broken 2.52%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.9%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Suspension arm pin/bush excessively worn 1.41%
Worn suspension arm bushes allow the wheel to move unpredictably, affecting steering, handling and tyre wear.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 1.29%
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 0.96%
A lit or non-working engine warning light can hide faults, so diagnosis is needed before buying.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 0.92%
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 (11.39%) · Brake pads wearing thin (5.9%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (5.43%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (4.3%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (3.91%) · Brake discs showing some wear (2.1%)
