Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Stop lamp not working 6.48%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Position lamp not working 5.12%
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 4.49%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
CV joint boot split or insecure 4.27%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Anti-roll bar linkage dust cover unsealed 4.07%
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the linkage joint, speeding wear and possibly needing a future repair.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 3.37%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (18.12%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (14.52%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (10.54%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (7.1%) · Coil spring showing some corrosion (6.62%) · Number plate lettering deteriorating (6.58%)
