Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Parking brake efficiency below minimum 3.83%
The parking brake holds the car less well than required, so it may roll on a slope and needs repair.
Shock absorber serious fluid leak 2.83%
A shock absorber leaking heavily has likely lost its damping, so the car will handle and brake less safely.
Dipped beam headlamp not working 2.36%
A failed dipped beam makes it hard to see and be seen at night, so the lamp needs fixing before driving.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 2.25%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Coil spring fractured or broken 2%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Parking brake efficiency under half required 1.87%
The parking brake is well below required strength and is unlikely to hold the car on a slope.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (8.48%) · Shock absorber light oil misting (7.64%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (6.79%) · Brake pads wearing thin (6.46%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (6.28%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (5.61%)
