Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.26%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 2.2%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 1.69%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Ball joint dust cover no longer sealed 1.64%
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the joint, speeding wear, so the joint may need replacing later.
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 1.55%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
Coil spring fractured or broken 1.43%
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 (15.33%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (8.81%) · Brake pads wearing thin (6.11%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (5.9%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (4.79%) · Sub-frame showing corrosion (3.75%)
