Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
CV joint boot split or insecure 9.88%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
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.
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 6.36%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
Stop lamp not working 5.8%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 4.53%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Parking brake efficiency below minimum 4.43%
The parking brake holds the car less well than required, so it may roll on a slope and needs repair.
Common advisories
Engine oil leak, not excessive (26.4%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (16.17%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (12.91%) · Brake pads wearing thin (7.04%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (6.93%) · Coil spring showing some corrosion (6.56%)
