Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Parking brake efficiency below minimum 2.31%
The parking brake holds the car less well than required, so it may roll on a slope and needs repair.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 2.16%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Stop lamp not working 1.95%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.63%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Parking brake inoperative on one side 1.49%
The parking brake does not work on one side, so the car may not hold on a slope and needs repair.
Windscreen washer fluid insufficient 1.06%
Washers are not supplying enough liquid, so the windscreen cannot be cleared properly, which is a safety issue.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (11.53%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (10.25%) · Brake pads wearing thin (9.72%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (4.8%) · Brake discs showing some wear (2.54%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (1.89%)
