Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Parking brake efficiency below minimum 4.2%
The parking brake holds the car less well than required, so it may roll on a slope and needs repair.
Stop lamp not working 3.38%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Dipped beam headlamp not working 3.24%
A failed dipped beam makes it hard to see and be seen at night, so the lamp needs fixing before driving.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 3.14%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 2.4%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Parking brake inoperative on one side 2.27%
The parking brake does not work on one side, so the car may not hold on a slope and needs repair.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (16.67%) · Brake pads wearing thin (9.09%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (9.07%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (8.8%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (4.85%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (3.26%)
