Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Position lamp not working 9.22%
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 8.1%
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 7.42%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Headlamp beam pattern obviously incorrect 5.67%
A wrongly shaped beam can dazzle other drivers and reduce your own view of the road, so the lamps need correcting.
Coil spring fractured or broken 5.51%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 3.85%
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 (18.92%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (15.07%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (11.59%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (11.03%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (8.78%) · Brake pads wearing thin (8.07%)
