Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Stop lamp not working 7.36%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Position lamp not working 7.24%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
CV joint boot split or insecure 5.17%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 4.27%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Horn not working 4.01%
A non-working horn removes a key warning tool for other road users, so it must be repaired before driving.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 3.49%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Common advisories
Engine oil leak, not excessive (19.26%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (17.26%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (10.48%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (9.44%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (8.84%) · Slight play in steering rack joints (5.58%)
