Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Coil spring fractured or broken 7.86%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Shock absorber bush excessively worn 4.65%
Worn shock absorber bushes cause knocking and poor ride control, and they tend to worsen, so they need replacing.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 3.59%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Position lamp not working 2.91%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 2.78%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Stop lamp not working 2.4%
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 (18.28%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (10.35%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (9.69%) · Shock absorber light oil misting (5.26%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (5%) · Shock absorber bush slightly worn (4.32%)
