Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 5.88%
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 5.56%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Position lamp not working 4.45%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 4.13%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Rigid brake pipe excessively corroded 3.58%
Badly corroded brake pipes can leak or fail, which can cause a loss of braking, so repair is urgent.
Stop lamp not working 3.02%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (19.63%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (18.28%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (11.13%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (6.52%) · Coil spring showing some corrosion (5.8%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (5.72%)
