Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Parking brake efficiency below minimum 7.49%
The parking brake holds the car less well than required, so it may roll on a slope and needs repair.
Position lamp not working 7.15%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Stop lamp not working 6.32%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Parking brake inoperative on one side 4.83%
The parking brake does not work on one side, so the car may not hold on a slope and needs repair.
Parking brake efficiency under half required 4.66%
The parking brake is well below required strength and is unlikely to hold the car on a slope.
ABS warning lamp shows a fault 3.33%
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 (16.56%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (12.06%) · Brake pads wearing thin (9.82%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (9.32%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (6.66%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (6.49%)
