Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Ball joint dust cover no longer sealed 2.11%
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the joint, speeding wear, so the joint may need replacing later.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.17%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 1.06%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 0.94%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Anti-roll bar linkage dust cover unsealed 0.78%
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the linkage joint, speeding wear and possibly needing a future repair.
Headlamp aim set too low 0.78%
Headlamps aimed too low light the road poorly and reduce the driver's view ahead, especially at night.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (8.38%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (4.93%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (3.64%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (3.52%) · Shock absorber light oil misting (3.01%) · Road wheel slightly distorted (2.43%)
