Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
CV joint boot split or insecure 5.44%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Position lamp not working 2.61%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Dipped beam headlamp not working 2.52%
A failed dipped beam makes it hard to see and be seen at night, so the lamp needs fixing before driving.
Stop lamp not working 2.04%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.68%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 1.28%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (10.31%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (6.72%) · Brake pads wearing thin (6.06%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (3.89%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (2.16%) · Brake discs showing some wear (1.84%)
