Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.7%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 1.37%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.08%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 1.06%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Tyre bulge from structural failure 0.65%
A bulge means the tyre's structure has failed and it could burst suddenly, so it must be replaced at once.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 0.56%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (10.48%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (6.26%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (3.92%) · Brake pads wearing thin (3.34%) · Brake discs showing some wear (1.92%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (1.52%)
