Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Position lamp not working 3.77%
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 2.56%
Worn suspension arm bushes allow the wheel to move unpredictably, affecting steering, handling and tyre wear.
Dipped beam headlamp not working 2.51%
A failed dipped beam makes it hard to see and be seen at night, so the lamp needs fixing before driving.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.34%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 2.33%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Registration plate lamp not working 2.25%
A dark number plate lamp makes the plate hard to read at night, which is illegal and must be fixed.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (15.53%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (10.93%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (8.72%) · Sub-frame showing corrosion (6.82%) · Brake pads wearing thin (5.88%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (4.99%)
