Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Coil spring fractured or broken 3.08%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 1.56%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.56%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Registration plate lamp not working 1.15%
A dark number plate lamp makes the plate hard to read at night, which is illegal and must be fixed.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 0.9%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Suspension arm pin/bush excessively worn 0.76%
Worn suspension arm bushes allow the wheel to move unpredictably, affecting steering, handling and tyre wear.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (13.49%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (4.45%) · Brake pads wearing thin (3.71%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (3.57%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (2.37%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (1.81%)
