Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.58%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 1.8%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Suspension arm pin/bush excessively worn 1.14%
Worn suspension arm bushes allow the wheel to move unpredictably, affecting steering, handling and tyre wear.
Position lamp not working 1.03%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Headlamp aim set too low 0.7%
Headlamps aimed too low light the road poorly and reduce the driver's view ahead, especially at night.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 0.64%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (11.7%) · Brake pads wearing thin (9.4%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (6.94%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (2.67%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (2.19%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (1.91%)
