Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 2.54%
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 1.83%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.79%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Windscreen washer fluid insufficient 1.74%
Washers are not supplying enough liquid, so the windscreen cannot be cleared properly, which is a safety issue.
Stop lamp not working 1.48%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Parking brake efficiency below minimum 1.23%
The parking brake holds the car less well than required, so it may roll on a slope and needs repair.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (11.71%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (10.93%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (8.28%) · Brake pads wearing thin (7.94%) · Brake discs showing some wear (2.42%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (2.21%)
