Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Position lamp not working 8.45%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Suspension mounting area seriously corroded 8.26%
Corrosion near suspension mountings can seriously weaken the body structure, so an expert inspection is needed.
Stop lamp not working 6.63%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Service brake excessively binding 5.19%
A brake that drags when released can overheat, wear quickly and waste fuel, so it needs prompt inspection.
Parking brake efficiency below minimum 4.88%
The parking brake holds the car less well than required, so it may roll on a slope and needs repair.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 4.76%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Common advisories
Engine oil leak, not excessive (27.16%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (18.34%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (17.27%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (11.83%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (9.01%) · Brake pads wearing thin (7.95%)
