Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 4.39%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Dipped beam headlamp not working 2.44%
A failed dipped beam makes it hard to see and be seen at night, so the lamp needs fixing before driving.
Headlamp aim set too low 2.1%
Headlamps aimed too low light the road poorly and reduce the driver's view ahead, especially at night.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.94%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Windscreen washer fluid insufficient 1.9%
Washers are not supplying enough liquid, so the windscreen cannot be cleared properly, which is a safety issue.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 1.84%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (17.73%) · Brake pads wearing thin (13.14%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (9.58%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (7.83%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (6.37%) · Brake discs showing some wear (2.37%)
