Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Position lamp not working 4.88%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 3.31%
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 3.2%
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 2.08%
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the linkage joint, speeding wear and possibly needing a future repair.
Registration plate lamp not working 1.62%
A dark number plate lamp makes the plate hard to read at night, which is illegal and must be fixed.
Headlamp aim set too low 1.56%
Headlamps aimed too low light the road poorly and reduce the driver's view ahead, especially at night.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (11.94%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (11.27%) · Brake pads wearing thin (11.01%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (9.99%) · Headlamp lens has a coating (3.39%) · Number plate lettering deteriorating (3.12%)
