Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 2.16%
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 2.12%
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 2.08%
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the linkage joint, speeding wear and possibly needing a future repair.
Parking brake efficiency below minimum 1.82%
The parking brake holds the car less well than required, so it may roll on a slope and needs repair.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.45%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Service brake excessively binding 1.34%
A brake that drags when released can overheat, wear quickly and waste fuel, so it needs prompt inspection.
Common advisories
Brake disc pitted or scored (12.19%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (10.75%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (8.52%) · Brake pads wearing thin (8.11%) · Service brake slightly binding (4.41%) · Shock absorber light oil misting (3.01%)
