Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Parking brake efficiency below minimum 5.07%
The parking brake holds the car less well than required, so it may roll on a slope and needs repair.
Registration plate lamp not working 4.99%
A dark number plate lamp makes the plate hard to read at night, which is illegal and must be fixed.
Suspension arm pin/bush excessively worn 3.46%
Worn suspension arm bushes allow the wheel to move unpredictably, affecting steering, handling and tyre wear.
Position lamp not working 3.42%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Diesel engine warning light faulty 3.23%
A lit or non-working engine warning light can hide faults, so diagnosis is needed before buying.
Dipped beam headlamp not working 3%
A failed dipped beam makes it hard to see and be seen at night, so the lamp needs fixing before driving.
Common advisories
Engine oil leak, not excessive (14.79%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (11.68%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (8.84%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (7.41%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (7.3%) · Shock absorber light oil misting (6.26%)
