Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
CV joint boot split or insecure 7.06%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Suspension arm pin/bush excessively worn 3.95%
Worn suspension arm bushes allow the wheel to move unpredictably, affecting steering, handling and tyre wear.
Rigid brake pipe excessively corroded 2.97%
Badly corroded brake pipes can leak or fail, which can cause a loss of braking, so repair is urgent.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 2.34%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 2%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Stop lamp not working 1.92%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Common advisories
Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (16.4%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (15.26%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (12.96%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (11.79%) · Brake pads wearing thin (8.88%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (5.79%)
