Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.32%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Anti-roll bar linkage dust cover unsealed 2.02%
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the linkage joint, speeding wear and possibly needing a future repair.
Coil spring fractured or broken 1.49%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.31%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 0.98%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 0.91%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (12.21%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (4.74%) · Brake pads wearing thin (4.5%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (4.13%) · Suspension arm showing corrosion (3.39%) · Shock absorber light oil misting (2.61%)
