Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Lambda reading outside specified limits 4.7%
An out-of-range lambda reading suggests poor fuel mixture or a failing catalytic converter, so diagnosis is needed.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 2.02%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Suspension mounting area seriously corroded 1.97%
Corrosion near suspension mountings can seriously weaken the body structure, so an expert inspection is needed.
Parking brake efficiency below minimum 1.77%
The parking brake holds the car less well than required, so it may roll on a slope and needs repair.
Suspension arm pin/bush excessively worn 1.57%
Worn suspension arm bushes allow the wheel to move unpredictably, affecting steering, handling and tyre wear.
ABS warning lamp shows a fault 1.57%
A lit ABS warning means the anti-lock system may not work, so wheels could lock during emergency braking.
Common advisories
Brake pipes corroded and greasy (9.6%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (8.08%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (5.45%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (5.35%) · Suspension mounting area showing corrosion (3.74%) · Shock absorber bush slightly worn (3.48%)
