Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 3.9%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
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.
CV joint boot split or insecure 3.25%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Windscreen washer fluid insufficient 2.76%
Washers are not supplying enough liquid, so the windscreen cannot be cleared properly, which is a safety issue.
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 2.52%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
Stop lamp not working 2.27%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (15.52%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (13.24%) · Exhaust mounting defective (11.78%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (10.72%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (8.53%) · Brake pads wearing thin (4.96%)
