Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Parking brake efficiency under half required 5.49%
The parking brake is well below required strength and is unlikely to hold the car on a slope.
Parking brake efficiency below minimum 5.22%
The parking brake holds the car less well than required, so it may roll on a slope and needs repair.
Position lamp not working 4.51%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Suspension arm pin/bush excessively worn 4.46%
Worn suspension arm bushes allow the wheel to move unpredictably, affecting steering, handling and tyre wear.
Track rod end ball joint excessively worn 3.86%
Worn steering ball joints can affect steering control and safety, so repair is needed before the car is driven.
ABS warning lamp shows a fault 3.55%
A lit ABS warning means the anti-lock system may not work, so wheels could lock during emergency braking.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (13.06%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (11.77%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (11.7%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (11.44%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (11.19%) · Brake pads wearing thin (6.93%)
