Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Position lamp not working 4.95%
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 3.59%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 3.58%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Rigid brake pipe excessively corroded 2.54%
Badly corroded brake pipes can leak or fail, which can cause a loss of braking, so repair is urgent.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.3%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 1.94%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (14.61%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (13.8%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (11.55%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (5.85%) · Brake pads wearing thin (4.36%) · Coil spring showing some corrosion (3.48%)
