Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 2.5%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 1.05%
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 0.89%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Tyre bulge from structural failure 0.76%
A bulge means the tyre's structure has failed and it could burst suddenly, so it must be replaced at once.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 0.69%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Tyre pressure monitoring system faulty 0.3%
A faulty tyre pressure monitor cannot warn about low tyre pressure, so check tyres manually and have the fault diagnosed.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (6.41%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (5.92%) · Brake pads wearing thin (5.88%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (4.64%) · Tyre has a shallow cut (1.22%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (1.05%)
