Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Headlamp beam pattern obviously incorrect 4.73%
A wrongly shaped beam can dazzle other drivers and reduce your own view of the road, so the lamps need correcting.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 4.48%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Suspension mounting area seriously corroded 4.13%
Corrosion near suspension mountings can seriously weaken the body structure, so an expert inspection is needed.
Exhaust has major gas leak 4.02%
A major exhaust leak can let poisonous gas into the car and is illegal, so it must be repaired before driving.
Stop lamp not working 3.68%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 3.41%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (19.72%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (13.29%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (12.43%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (10.35%) · Exhaust has minor gas leak (7.17%) · Shock absorber bush slightly worn (6.4%)
