Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Position lamp not working 5.91%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Rear fog lamp not working 3.17%
A failed rear fog lamp reduces visibility in fog and leaves you less visible to following traffic, so repair it.
Stop lamp not working 2.69%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Windscreen washer fluid insufficient 2.53%
Washers are not supplying enough liquid, so the windscreen cannot be cleared properly, which is a safety issue.
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 2.48%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
Shock absorber serious fluid leak 2.27%
A shock absorber leaking heavily has likely lost its damping, so the car will handle and brake less safely.
Common advisories
Engine oil leak, not excessive (12.24%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (11.19%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (9.23%) · Suspension ball joint slight play (8.39%) · Brake pads wearing thin (8.23%) · Coil spring showing some corrosion (6.75%)
