Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.17%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
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.
Stop lamp not working 0.85%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Coil spring fractured or broken 0.84%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 0.77%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 0.77%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (12.01%) · Brake pads wearing thin (5.74%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (5.32%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (4.03%) · Nail in tyre, monitor (1.96%) · Tyre has a shallow cut (1.72%)
