Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Position lamp not working 4.76%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Suspension arm pin/bush excessively worn 2.57%
Worn suspension arm bushes allow the wheel to move unpredictably, affecting steering, handling and tyre wear.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.53%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Coil spring fractured or broken 2.25%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Dipped beam headlamp not working 2.25%
A failed dipped beam makes it hard to see and be seen at night, so the lamp needs fixing before driving.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 2.22%
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 (16.22%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (12.35%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (9.12%) · Sub-frame showing corrosion (8.38%) · Brake pads wearing thin (6.56%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (4.71%)
