Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 2.42%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 1.14%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 1.04%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 0.84%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Diesel engine warning light faulty 0.78%
A lit or non-working engine warning light can hide faults, so diagnosis is needed before buying.
Windscreen washer fluid insufficient 0.67%
Washers are not supplying enough liquid, so the windscreen cannot be cleared properly, which is a safety issue.
Common advisories
Brake disc pitted or scored (13.48%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (9.26%) · Brake pads wearing thin (8.4%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (6.94%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (1.86%) · Nail in tyre, monitor (1.84%)
