Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
CV joint boot split or insecure 2.73%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Engine warning light inoperative or lit 1.5%
An engine warning light that is lit or not working can hide faults, so diagnosis is needed before buying.
Ball joint dust cover no longer sealed 1.37%
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the joint, speeding wear, so the joint may need replacing later.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.24%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Coil spring fractured or broken 1.17%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 1.11%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Common advisories
Brake disc pitted or scored (7.88%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (6.97%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (5.86%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (3.39%) · Brake pads wearing thin (2.93%) · Brake hose ferrule slightly corroded (2.73%)
