Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Position lamp not working 6.14%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Parking brake efficiency below minimum 5%
The parking brake holds the car less well than required, so it may roll on a slope and needs repair.
Headlamp beam pattern obviously incorrect 4.92%
A wrongly shaped beam can dazzle other drivers and reduce your own view of the road, so the lamps need correcting.
Parking brake inoperative on one side 4.46%
The parking brake does not work on one side, so the car may not hold on a slope and needs repair.
Dipped beam headlamp not working 4.09%
A failed dipped beam makes it hard to see and be seen at night, so the lamp needs fixing before driving.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 3.81%
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 (15.71%) · Brake pads wearing thin (12.59%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (9.26%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (4.86%) · Brake discs showing some wear (3.24%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (3.21%)
