Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
CV joint boot split or insecure 8.78%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Stop lamp not working 5.95%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Position lamp not working 5.84%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 4.86%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Exhaust has major gas leak 4.74%
A major exhaust leak can let poisonous gas into the car and is illegal, so it must be repaired before driving.
Windscreen washer fluid insufficient 3.8%
Washers are not supplying enough liquid, so the windscreen cannot be cleared properly, which is a safety issue.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (16.4%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (16.03%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (12.47%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (10.64%) · Exhaust has minor gas leak (9.61%) · Sub-frame showing corrosion (7.97%)
