Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Shock absorber serious fluid leak 1.18%
A shock absorber leaking heavily has likely lost its damping, so the car will handle and brake less safely.
Number plate does not meet standards 0.39%
The plate does not meet legal specifications, so it must be replaced with a compliant one before the car is driven.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 0.3%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 0.3%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 0.3%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Tyre bulge from structural failure 0.2%
A bulge means the tyre's structure has failed and it could burst suddenly, so it must be replaced at once.
Common advisories
Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (4.33%) · Shock absorber light oil misting (3.74%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (3.65%) · Tyre has a shallow cut (0.79%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (0.59%) · Suspension ball joint slight play (0.59%)
