Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 3.23%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 2.06%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Stop lamp not working 1.84%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.71%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Windscreen washer fluid insufficient 1.53%
Washers are not supplying enough liquid, so the windscreen cannot be cleared properly, which is a safety issue.
Tyre pressure monitoring system faulty 1.35%
A faulty tyre pressure monitor cannot warn about low tyre pressure, so check tyres manually and have the fault diagnosed.
Common advisories
Brake disc pitted or scored (15.19%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (12.97%) · Brake pads wearing thin (8.16%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (8.07%) · Brake discs showing some wear (2.47%) · Service brake slightly binding (1.75%)
