Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
CV joint boot split or insecure 5.6%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Registration plate lamp not working 5.19%
A dark number plate lamp makes the plate hard to read at night, which is illegal and must be fixed.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 5.03%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Coil spring fractured or broken 3.74%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Headlamp beam pattern obviously incorrect 2.34%
A wrongly shaped beam can dazzle other drivers and reduce your own view of the road, so the lamps need correcting.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 1.99%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (20.24%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (14.59%) · Brake pads wearing thin (8.69%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (3.69%) · Brake discs showing some wear (2.74%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (2.53%)
