Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Position lamp not working 9.77%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Stop lamp not working 8.03%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
CV joint boot split or insecure 6.89%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Coil spring fractured or broken 6.31%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Registration plate lamp not working 5.37%
A dark number plate lamp makes the plate hard to read at night, which is illegal and must be fixed.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 4.04%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (19.88%) · Brake pads wearing thin (8.57%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (8.32%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (6.12%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (3.85%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (2.99%)
