Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Position lamp not working 3.81%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 2.48%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.12%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 2.1%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Tyre pressure monitoring system faulty 1.47%
A faulty tyre pressure monitor cannot warn about low tyre pressure, so check tyres manually and have the fault diagnosed.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 1.06%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (15.66%) · Brake pads wearing thin (10.66%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (6.15%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (4.95%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (3.29%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (3.1%)
