Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.61%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 2.44%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Suspension arm pin/bush excessively worn 2.23%
Worn suspension arm bushes allow the wheel to move unpredictably, affecting steering, handling and tyre wear.
Position lamp not working 1.88%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Registration plate lamp not working 1.85%
A dark number plate lamp makes the plate hard to read at night, which is illegal and must be fixed.
Coil spring fractured or broken 1.8%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (16.27%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (9.65%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (9.42%) · Brake pads wearing thin (6.22%) · Sub-frame showing corrosion (5.75%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (4.67%)
