Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Parking brake efficiency below minimum 2.5%
The parking brake holds the car less well than required, so it may roll on a slope and needs repair.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 2.07%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Anti-roll bar linkage dust cover unsealed 2.07%
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the linkage joint, speeding wear and possibly needing a future repair.
Service brake excessively binding 1.84%
A brake that drags when released can overheat, wear quickly and waste fuel, so it needs prompt inspection.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.65%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.63%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Common advisories
Brake disc pitted or scored (11.66%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (10.67%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (8.32%) · Brake pads wearing thin (6.86%) · Service brake slightly binding (3.7%) · Exhaust has minor gas leak (2.94%)
