Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 3.1%
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 1.99%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 1.78%
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 1.73%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
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.
Seat belt webbing significantly weakened 1.01%
Weakened webbing may not restrain you properly in a crash, so the belt should be replaced immediately.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (14.94%) · Brake pads wearing thin (8.76%) · Seat belt webbing slightly frayed (3.72%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (3.67%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (2.22%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (1.94%)
