Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 1.68%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.45%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Windscreen washer fluid insufficient 0.91%
Washers are not supplying enough liquid, so the windscreen cannot be cleared properly, which is a safety issue.
Ball joint dust cover no longer sealed 0.77%
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the joint, speeding wear, so the joint may need replacing later.
Parking brake efficiency below minimum 0.75%
The parking brake holds the car less well than required, so it may roll on a slope and needs repair.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (12.31%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (10.69%) · Brake pads wearing thin (8.68%) · Brake discs showing some wear (2.1%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (1.76%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (1.51%)
