Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
CV joint boot split or insecure 8.92%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Coil spring fractured or broken 5.16%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 4.88%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Registration plate lamp not working 3.16%
A dark number plate lamp makes the plate hard to read at night, which is illegal and must be fixed.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 2.42%
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 2.07%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (17.77%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (12.75%) · Brake pads wearing thin (7.59%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (4.04%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (2.81%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (2.74%)
