Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Position lamp not working 3.01%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.6%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 2.37%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Tyre pressure monitoring system faulty 1.81%
A faulty tyre pressure monitor cannot warn about low tyre pressure, so check tyres manually and have the fault diagnosed.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.49%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Registration plate lamp not working 1.25%
A dark number plate lamp makes the plate hard to read at night, which is illegal and must be fixed.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (16.93%) · Brake pads wearing thin (9.73%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (6.27%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (4.11%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (2.19%) · Number plate lettering deteriorating (2.16%)
