Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Position lamp not working 4.2%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 2.51%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Ball joint dust cover no longer sealed 1.98%
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the joint, speeding wear, so the joint may need replacing later.
Windscreen washer fluid insufficient 1.94%
Washers are not supplying enough liquid, so the windscreen cannot be cleared properly, which is a safety issue.
Headlamp beam pattern obviously incorrect 1.87%
A wrongly shaped beam can dazzle other drivers and reduce your own view of the road, so the lamps need correcting.
Dipped beam headlamp not working 1.8%
A failed dipped beam makes it hard to see and be seen at night, so the lamp needs fixing before driving.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (12.8%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (11.8%) · Brake pads wearing thin (9.43%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (7.31%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (4.93%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (2.03%)
