Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.82%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Coil spring fractured or broken 1.43%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 1.36%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Dipped beam headlamp not working 1.06%
A failed dipped beam makes it hard to see and be seen at night, so the lamp needs fixing before driving.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 1%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Diesel engine warning light faulty 0.89%
A lit or non-working engine warning light can hide faults, so diagnosis is needed before buying.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (12.1%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (10.88%) · Brake pads wearing thin (7.79%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (7.66%) · Brake discs showing some wear (3.51%) · Nail in tyre, monitor (2.39%)
