Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Coil spring fractured or broken 6.41%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Position lamp not working 4.31%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Shock absorber bush excessively worn 4.08%
Worn shock absorber bushes cause knocking and poor ride control, and they tend to worsen, so they need replacing.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 4.04%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Windscreen washer fluid insufficient 3.56%
Washers are not supplying enough liquid, so the windscreen cannot be cleared properly, which is a safety issue.
Stop lamp not working 3.31%
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 (18.52%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (14.81%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (11.16%) · Coil spring showing some corrosion (7.76%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (6.81%) · Shock absorber light oil misting (4.84%)
