Average for cars of the same age and mileage

Top failures

  1. Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 2.82%

    Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.

  2. Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 2.2%

    Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.

  3. Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.88%

    Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.

  4. Tyre ply or cords exposed 1.8%

    Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.

  5. Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 1.2%

    A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.

  6. Dipped beam headlamp not working 0.87%

    A failed dipped beam makes it hard to see and be seen at night, so the lamp needs fixing before driving.

Common advisories

Tyre worn close to legal limit (17.02%) · Brake pads wearing thin (10.22%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (4.53%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (3.34%) · Seat belt webbing slightly frayed (2.85%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (2.23%)
