Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
CV joint boot split or insecure 9.3%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Suspension mounting area seriously corroded 8.65%
Corrosion near suspension mountings can seriously weaken the body structure, so an expert inspection is needed.
Position lamp not working 6.48%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 5.71%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
Exhaust has major gas leak 4.55%
A major exhaust leak can let poisonous gas into the car and is illegal, so it must be repaired before driving.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 4.22%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Common advisories
Engine oil leak, not excessive (20.59%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (16.76%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (12.51%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (8.8%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (7.16%) · Exhaust has minor gas leak (6.69%)
