Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Stop lamp not working 2.46%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Position lamp not working 2.34%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.14%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Anti-roll bar linkage ball joint worn 1.9%
A worn linkage ball joint can rattle, affect handling and eventually fail, so it should be replaced.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 1.77%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Direction indicator wrong colour 1.77%
An indicator showing the wrong colour may confuse other drivers, so the lens or bulb should be replaced.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (17.1%) · Brake pads wearing thin (6.28%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (6.27%) · Indicator lens slightly discoloured (5.01%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (4.79%) · Linkage ball joint slight play (4.5%)
