Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Parking brake efficiency below minimum 7.24%
The parking brake holds the car less well than required, so it may roll on a slope and needs repair.
Position lamp not working 6.47%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Stop lamp not working 4.13%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 4.13%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Rigid brake pipe excessively corroded 3.37%
Badly corroded brake pipes can leak or fail, which can cause a loss of braking, so repair is urgent.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 3.36%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Common advisories
Brake pipes corroded and greasy (20.74%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (12.83%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (11.92%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (10.36%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (9.86%) · Brake pads wearing thin (8.93%)
