Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Position lamp not working 9.64%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
CV joint boot split or insecure 5.56%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Registration plate lamp not working 4.64%
A dark number plate lamp makes the plate hard to read at night, which is illegal and must be fixed.
Stop lamp not working 3.93%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 3.08%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 2.8%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (19.47%) · Brake pads wearing thin (11.65%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (7.99%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (5.3%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (4.45%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (3.66%)
