Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Coil spring fractured or broken 9.16%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Position lamp not working 4.86%
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 4.82%
Worn shock absorber bushes cause knocking and poor ride control, and they tend to worsen, so they need replacing.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 3.64%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 2.99%
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 2.8%
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 (19.06%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (11.32%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (9.83%) · Shock absorber light oil misting (5.08%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (4.81%) · Shock absorber bush slightly worn (3.96%)
