Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Tyre ply or cords exposed 1.49%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Windscreen washers not working 1.34%
Without working washers the windscreen cannot be cleaned while driving, which is a safety risk in dirty weather.
Windscreen washer fluid insufficient 0.97%
Washers are not supplying enough liquid, so the windscreen cannot be cleared properly, which is a safety issue.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 0.97%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Ball joint dust cover no longer sealed 0.89%
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 0.89%
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the linkage joint, speeding wear and possibly needing a future repair.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (8.34%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (4.77%) · Brake pads wearing thin (3.5%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (3.5%) · Road wheel slightly distorted (3.13%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (2.98%)
