Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Anti-roll bar linkage dust cover unsealed 2.95%
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the linkage joint, speeding wear and possibly needing a future repair.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.24%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Position lamp not working 1.75%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Coil spring fractured or broken 1.73%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.46%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Service brake excessively binding 1.29%
A brake that drags when released can overheat, wear quickly and waste fuel, so it needs prompt inspection.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (13%) · Suspension arm showing corrosion (5.29%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (5.23%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (4.88%) · Brake pads wearing thin (4.31%) · Coil spring showing some corrosion (3.22%)
