Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Anti-roll bar linkage dust cover unsealed 3.36%
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the linkage joint, speeding wear and possibly needing a future repair.
Coil spring fractured or broken 2.95%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Position lamp not working 2.34%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.04%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Engine warning light inoperative or lit 1.54%
An engine warning light that is lit or not working can hide faults, so diagnosis is needed before buying.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.51%
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 (13.1%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (5.65%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (5.25%) · Coil spring showing some corrosion (4.3%) · Brake pads wearing thin (4.24%) · Sub-frame showing corrosion (3.43%)
