Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.96%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 2.9%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Parking brake efficiency below minimum 2.74%
The parking brake holds the car less well than required, so it may roll on a slope and needs repair.
Tyre pressure monitoring system faulty 2.47%
A faulty tyre pressure monitor cannot warn about low tyre pressure, so check tyres manually and have the fault diagnosed.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 2.07%
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 1.48%
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 (15.05%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (12.18%) · Brake pads wearing thin (12.08%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (10.26%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (4.17%) · Brake discs showing some wear (3.21%)
