Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Shock absorber bush excessively worn 3.87%
Worn shock absorber bushes cause knocking and poor ride control, and they tend to worsen, so they need replacing.
Rear fog lamp not working 3.41%
A failed rear fog lamp reduces visibility in fog and leaves you less visible to following traffic, so repair it.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 2.59%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Exhaust has major gas leak 2.35%
A major exhaust leak can let poisonous gas into the car and is illegal, so it must be repaired before driving.
Position lamp not working 1.96%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
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.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (11.87%) · Wheel bearing slight play (10.15%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (6.15%) · Shock absorber bush slightly worn (5.44%) · Brake pads wearing thin (4.96%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (4.7%)
