Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Position lamp not working 4.91%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Stop lamp not working 4.53%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 3.46%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Coil spring fractured or broken 3.23%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 2.75%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
Headlamp beam pattern obviously incorrect 2.65%
A wrongly shaped beam can dazzle other drivers and reduce your own view of the road, so the lamps need correcting.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (18.56%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (9.14%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (7.46%) · Brake pads wearing thin (7.16%) · Sub-frame showing corrosion (5.87%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (5.28%)
