Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Ball joint dust cover no longer sealed 1.91%
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the joint, speeding wear, so the joint may need replacing later.
Anti-roll bar linkage dust cover unsealed 1.78%
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the linkage joint, speeding wear and possibly needing a future repair.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.45%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Airbag warning lamp shows fault 1.25%
A lit airbag warning means the airbag system may not deploy in a crash, so it needs diagnosing and repairing.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.04%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Coil spring fractured or broken 1.04%
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 (10.54%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (4.9%) · Sub-frame showing corrosion (4.69%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (4.15%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (3.11%) · Brake pads wearing thin (2.66%)
