Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Track rod end ball joint excessively worn 7.1%
Worn steering ball joints can affect steering control and safety, so repair is needed before the car is driven.
Parking brake efficiency below minimum 4.28%
The parking brake holds the car less well than required, so it may roll on a slope and needs repair.
Dipped beam headlamp not working 3.52%
A failed dipped beam makes it hard to see and be seen at night, so the lamp needs fixing before driving.
Ball joint dust cover no longer sealed 3.15%
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the joint, speeding wear, so the joint may need replacing later.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 3.05%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Parking brake inoperative on one side 2.59%
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 (14.01%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (8.53%) · Brake pads wearing thin (7.83%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (6.54%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (4.91%) · Track rod ball joint slight play (4.78%)
