Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Stop lamp not working 7.6%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Rear fog lamp not working 4.54%
A failed rear fog lamp reduces visibility in fog and leaves you less visible to following traffic, so repair it.
Position lamp not working 4.29%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Rigid brake pipe excessively corroded 4.19%
Badly corroded brake pipes can leak or fail, which can cause a loss of braking, so repair is urgent.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 3.88%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Headlamp beam pattern obviously incorrect 3.21%
A wrongly shaped beam can dazzle other drivers and reduce your own view of the road, so the lamps need correcting.
Common advisories
Brake pipes corroded and greasy (19.86%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (14.52%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (12.18%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (9.57%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (7.74%) · Coil spring showing some corrosion (6.5%)
