Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 1.58%
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 1.34%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.12%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 0.91%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Headlamp aim set too high 0.71%
Headlamps aimed too high can dazzle other drivers, and adjusting them is usually a quick job.
Tyre pressure monitoring system faulty 0.65%
A faulty tyre pressure monitor cannot warn about low tyre pressure, so check tyres manually and have the fault diagnosed.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (11.18%) · Brake pads wearing thin (7.4%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (6.67%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (2.65%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (2.61%) · Brake discs showing some wear (2.32%)
