Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Stop lamp not working 7.21%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Position lamp not working 6.39%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 5.69%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Track rod end ball joint excessively worn 4.94%
Worn steering ball joints can affect steering control and safety, so repair is needed before the car is driven.
CV joint boot split or insecure 4.65%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Service brakes uneven across an axle 3.66%
One wheel is braking much less than its pair, so the car may pull to one side and stop poorly.
Common advisories
Engine oil leak, not excessive (22.31%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (15.34%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (13.89%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (10.28%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (9.82%) · Exhaust has minor gas leak (8.25%)
