Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Coil spring fractured or broken 5.29%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Track rod end dust cover damaged 3.84%
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the ball joint, which speeds up wear and may lead to a costly replacement.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 3.27%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Stop lamp not working 3.01%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Position lamp not working 2.91%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Headlamp beam pattern obviously incorrect 2.8%
A wrongly shaped beam can dazzle other drivers and reduce your own view of the road, so the lamps need correcting.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (15.67%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (11.25%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (7.86%) · Coil spring showing some corrosion (5.83%) · Brake pads wearing thin (5.2%) · Exhaust has minor gas leak (4.09%)
