Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Shock absorber serious fluid leak 0.73%
A shock absorber leaking heavily has likely lost its damping, so the car will handle and brake less safely.
Rear fog lamp not working 0.64%
A failed rear fog lamp reduces visibility in fog and leaves you less visible to following traffic, so repair it.
Engine warning light inoperative or lit 0.64%
An engine warning light that is lit or not working can hide faults, so diagnosis is needed before buying.
Fuel filler cap ineffective 0.55%
A faulty fuel cap can let fuel vapour escape and may trigger warning lights, so a replacement is usually simple.
ABS warning lamp shows a fault 0.27%
A lit ABS warning means the anti-lock system may not work, so wheels could lock during emergency braking.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 0.27%
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 (3.39%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (2.93%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (2.47%) · Shock absorber light oil misting (2.38%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (0.73%) · Brake pads wearing thin (0.55%)
