Average for cars of the same age and mileage

Top failures

  1. Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 3.26%

    Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.

  2. Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 1.83%

    Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.

  3. Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.39%

    Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.

  4. Windscreen washer fluid insufficient 1.36%

    Washers are not supplying enough liquid, so the windscreen cannot be cleared properly, which is a safety issue.

  5. Brake discs significantly worn 1.3%

    Heavily worn discs reduce braking performance and wear pads faster, so a replacement will soon be needed.

  6. Tyre pressure monitoring system faulty 1.1%

    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 (14.77%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (11.96%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (8.61%) · Brake pads wearing thin (8.16%) · Brake discs showing some wear (2.34%) · Service brake slightly binding (1.66%)
