Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.07%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.51%
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 1.4%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Stop lamp not working 0.88%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Tyre pressure monitoring system faulty 0.85%
A faulty tyre pressure monitor cannot warn about low tyre pressure, so check tyres manually and have the fault diagnosed.
Anti-roll bar linkage dust cover unsealed 0.84%
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the linkage joint, speeding wear and possibly needing a future repair.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (14.84%) · Brake pads wearing thin (6.69%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (4.55%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (4.16%) · Optional stop lamp not working (3.99%) · Brake discs showing some wear (2.78%)
