Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Parking brake efficiency below minimum 10.23%
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.
Exhaust has major gas leak 5.51%
A major exhaust leak can let poisonous gas into the car and is illegal, so it must be repaired before driving.
ABS warning lamp shows a fault 4.1%
A lit ABS warning means the anti-lock system may not work, so wheels could lock during emergency braking.
Lambda reading outside specified limits 3.79%
An out-of-range lambda reading suggests poor fuel mixture or a failing catalytic converter, so diagnosis is needed.
Service brake excessively binding 3.53%
A brake that drags when released can overheat, wear quickly and waste fuel, so it needs prompt inspection.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (14.62%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (12.18%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (10.94%) · Exhaust has minor gas leak (10.29%) · Sub-frame showing corrosion (9.27%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (8.7%)
