Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 2.07%
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 1%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 0.96%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Tyre pressure monitoring system faulty 0.55%
A faulty tyre pressure monitor cannot warn about low tyre pressure, so check tyres manually and have the fault diagnosed.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 0.48%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Windscreen washer fluid insufficient 0.46%
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 (11.83%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (6.6%) · Brake pads wearing thin (6.08%) · Tyre has a shallow cut (1.95%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (1.41%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (1.25%)
