Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 3.56%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.5%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 2.5%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Parking brake efficiency below minimum 1.93%
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 1.73%
A faulty tyre pressure monitor cannot warn about low tyre pressure, so check tyres manually and have the fault diagnosed.
Parking brake inoperative on one side 1.35%
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 (13.97%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (12.72%) · Brake pads wearing thin (12.04%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (9.73%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (3.28%) · Brake discs showing some wear (2.99%)
