Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Ball joint dust cover no longer sealed 0.63%
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the joint, speeding wear, so the joint may need replacing later.
Position lamp not working 0.56%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Rear fog lamp not working 0.56%
A failed rear fog lamp reduces visibility in fog and leaves you less visible to following traffic, so repair it.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 0.49%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Anti-roll bar linkage dust cover unsealed 0.42%
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the linkage joint, speeding wear and possibly needing a future repair.
Windscreen washer fluid insufficient 0.35%
Washers are not supplying enough liquid, so the windscreen cannot be cleared properly, which is a safety issue.
Common advisories
Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (1.74%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (1.32%) · Brake pads wearing thin (0.49%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (0.42%) · Shock absorber light oil misting (0.28%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (0.28%)
