Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.13%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.12%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 0.72%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Tyre bulge from structural failure 0.52%
A bulge means the tyre's structure has failed and it could burst suddenly, so it must be replaced at once.
Engine warning light inoperative or lit 0.46%
An engine warning light that is lit or not working can hide faults, so diagnosis is needed before buying.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 0.44%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (9.66%) · Brake pads wearing thin (3.38%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (2.66%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (2.48%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (1.52%) · Tyre has a shallow cut (1.52%)
