Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.71%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 0.88%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 0.67%
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 0.53%
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 0.49%
An engine warning light that is lit or not working can hide faults, so diagnosis is needed before buying.
Windscreen washer fluid insufficient 0.44%
Washers are not supplying enough liquid, so the windscreen cannot be cleared properly, which is a safety issue.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (9%) · Brake pads wearing thin (2.77%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (2.57%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (1.57%) · Tyre has a shallow cut (1.52%) · Nail in tyre, monitor (1.37%)
