Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Coil spring fractured or broken 3.47%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Position lamp not working 3.15%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
CV joint boot split or insecure 3.1%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Anti-roll bar linkage dust cover unsealed 2.68%
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the linkage joint, speeding wear and possibly needing a future repair.
Engine warning light inoperative or lit 2.43%
An engine warning light that is lit or not working can hide faults, so diagnosis is needed before buying.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.2%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (13.64%) · Coil spring showing some corrosion (6.1%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (5.94%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (5.9%) · Brake pads wearing thin (4.26%) · Sub-frame showing corrosion (3.8%)
