Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
CV joint boot split or insecure 4.2%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Stop lamp not working 2.69%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Suspension arm pin/bush excessively worn 2.6%
Worn suspension arm bushes allow the wheel to move unpredictably, affecting steering, handling and tyre wear.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 2.22%
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 1.82%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Anti-roll bar linkage pin/bush excessively worn 1.7%
Worn linkage pins or bushes cause knocking and poor handling, and can get worse, so they need replacing.
Common advisories
Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (11.39%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (8.98%) · Brake pads wearing thin (8.31%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (7.74%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (6.78%) · Anti-roll bar linkage pin/bush worn (5.35%)
