Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 1.62%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Brake discs significantly worn 1.3%
Heavily worn discs reduce braking performance and wear pads faster, so a replacement will soon be needed.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.14%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 1.04%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
CV joint boot split or insecure 0.82%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Windscreen washer fluid insufficient 0.76%
Washers are not supplying enough liquid, so the windscreen cannot be cleared properly, which is a safety issue.
Common advisories
Brake disc pitted or scored (16.04%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (11.16%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (10.5%) · Brake pads wearing thin (6.25%) · Brake discs showing some wear (4.71%) · Exhaust mounting defective (2.66%)
