Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Parking brake efficiency below minimum 12.1%
The parking brake holds the car less well than required, so it may roll on a slope and needs repair.
Exhaust has major gas leak 6.21%
A major exhaust leak can let poisonous gas into the car and is illegal, so it must be repaired before driving.
Position lamp not working 6%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Lambda reading outside specified limits 4.03%
An out-of-range lambda reading suggests poor fuel mixture or a failing catalytic converter, so diagnosis is needed.
Parking brake efficiency under half required 3.94%
The parking brake is well below required strength and is unlikely to hold the car on a slope.
ABS warning lamp shows a fault 3.82%
A lit ABS warning means the anti-lock system may not work, so wheels could lock during emergency braking.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (15.02%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (13.69%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (11.19%) · Exhaust has minor gas leak (10.96%) · Sub-frame showing corrosion (9.38%) · Brake pads wearing thin (8.39%)
