Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Stop lamp not working 2.54%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.96%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 1.73%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.54%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Coil spring fractured or broken 1.11%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 0.93%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (12.34%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (10.53%) · Brake pads wearing thin (8.38%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (4.21%) · Shock absorber light oil misting (1.83%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (1.77%)
