Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 3.83%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 2.37%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Registration plate lamp not working 2.37%
A dark number plate lamp makes the plate hard to read at night, which is illegal and must be fixed.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.21%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 1.49%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Headlamp aim set too low 1.33%
Headlamps aimed too low light the road poorly and reduce the driver's view ahead, especially at night.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (12.84%) · Brake pads wearing thin (10.79%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (9.97%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (6.17%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (4.62%) · Brake discs showing some wear (3.92%)
