Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.91%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 0.89%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 0.68%
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 0.62%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Registration plate lamp not working 0.48%
A dark number plate lamp makes the plate hard to read at night, which is illegal and must be fixed.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 0.4%
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 (11.21%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (6.46%) · Brake pads wearing thin (6.32%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (3.6%) · Nail in tyre, monitor (2.13%) · Tyre has a shallow cut (1.75%)
