Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 6.01%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 2.99%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Stop lamp not working 1.6%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 1.53%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 1.42%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.28%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (13.65%) · Brake pads wearing thin (11.56%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (5.8%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (3.85%) · Nail in tyre, monitor (2.5%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (2.33%)
