Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Parking brake efficiency below minimum 6.55%
The parking brake holds the car less well than required, so it may roll on a slope and needs repair.
Parking brake efficiency under half required 6.13%
The parking brake is well below required strength and is unlikely to hold the car on a slope.
Position lamp not working 5.64%
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 5.64%
Worn suspension arm bushes allow the wheel to move unpredictably, affecting steering, handling and tyre wear.
Track rod end ball joint excessively worn 4.32%
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 4.04%
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 (13.58%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (12.53%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (11.14%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (10.38%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (9.82%) · Brake pads wearing thin (6.48%)
