Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 4.28%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Exhaust has major gas leak 4.06%
A major exhaust leak can let poisonous gas into the car and is illegal, so it must be repaired before driving.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.96%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Stop lamp not working 2.94%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Headlamp beam pattern obviously incorrect 2.73%
A wrongly shaped beam can dazzle other drivers and reduce your own view of the road, so the lamps need correcting.
Shock absorber bush excessively worn 2.53%
Worn shock absorber bushes cause knocking and poor ride control, and they tend to worsen, so they need replacing.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (16.44%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (13.33%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (10.57%) · Exhaust has minor gas leak (9.41%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (7.74%) · Shock absorber bush slightly worn (5.02%)
