Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 2.41%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 1.1%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Shock absorber serious fluid leak 1.1%
A shock absorber leaking heavily has likely lost its damping, so the car will handle and brake less safely.
Tyre bulge from structural failure 1.08%
A bulge means the tyre's structure has failed and it could burst suddenly, so it must be replaced at once.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 0.87%
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 0.77%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Common advisories
Brake disc pitted or scored (6.97%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (6.26%) · Brake pads wearing thin (4.54%) · Shock absorber light oil misting (2.46%) · Tyre has a shallow cut (1.92%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (1.74%)
