Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Dipped beam headlamp not working 5.45%
A failed dipped beam makes it hard to see and be seen at night, so the lamp needs fixing before driving.
Coil spring fractured or broken 4.89%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Diesel engine warning light faulty 2.7%
A lit or non-working engine warning light can hide faults, so diagnosis is needed before buying.
ABS warning lamp shows a fault 2.49%
A lit ABS warning means the anti-lock system may not work, so wheels could lock during emergency braking.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.95%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Track rod end ball joint excessively worn 1.85%
Worn steering ball joints can affect steering control and safety, so repair is needed before the car is driven.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (9.54%) · Brake pads wearing thin (6.3%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (3.94%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (3.48%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (3.4%) · Track rod ball joint slight play (2.1%)
