Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Position lamp not working 6.93%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Stop lamp not working 5.19%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Rear fog lamp not working 5%
A failed rear fog lamp reduces visibility in fog and leaves you less visible to following traffic, so repair it.
Shock absorber bush excessively worn 4.78%
Worn shock absorber bushes cause knocking and poor ride control, and they tend to worsen, so they need replacing.
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 4.72%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
Rigid brake pipe excessively corroded 4.34%
Badly corroded brake pipes can leak or fail, which can cause a loss of braking, so repair is urgent.
Common advisories
Brake pipes corroded and greasy (19.98%) · Wheel bearing slight play (17.04%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (13.24%) · Shock absorber bush slightly worn (6.84%) · Suspension ball joint slight play (6.27%) · Chassis corroded but still rigid (6.05%)
