Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Parking brake efficiency below minimum 8.33%
The parking brake holds the car less well than required, so it may roll on a slope and needs repair.
Position lamp not working 4.51%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Horn not working 3.99%
A non-working horn removes a key warning tool for other road users, so it must be repaired before driving.
Registration plate lamp not working 3.99%
A dark number plate lamp makes the plate hard to read at night, which is illegal and must be fixed.
Rear fog lamp not working 3.91%
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 3.82%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Common advisories
Brake disc pitted or scored (7.99%) · Chassis corroded but still rigid (7.81%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (6.94%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (5.9%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (5.64%) · Body structure corroded but rigid (5.21%)
