Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 2.21%
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 1.5%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.49%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 0.78%
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 0.54%
A lit or non-working engine warning light can hide faults, so diagnosis is needed before buying.
Headlamp aim set too low 0.53%
Headlamps aimed too low light the road poorly and reduce the driver's view ahead, especially at night.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (10.12%) · Brake pads wearing thin (9.96%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (8.5%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (2.22%) · Nail in tyre, monitor (1.74%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (1.24%)
