Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Position lamp not working 6.42%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Stop lamp not working 4.27%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 3.9%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Parking brake efficiency below minimum 3.01%
The parking brake holds the car less well than required, so it may roll on a slope and needs repair.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.36%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Service brake excessively binding 2.02%
A brake that drags when released can overheat, wear quickly and waste fuel, so it needs prompt inspection.
Common advisories
Coil spring showing some corrosion (18.18%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (14.48%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (11.88%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (10.73%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (8.85%) · Brake pads wearing thin (6.22%)
