Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 3.62%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 1.93%
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 0.95%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 0.49%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Windscreen washer fluid insufficient 0.44%
Washers are not supplying enough liquid, so the windscreen cannot be cleared properly, which is a safety issue.
Windscreen washers not working 0.35%
Without working washers the windscreen cannot be cleaned while driving, which is a safety risk in dirty weather.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (10.02%) · Brake pads wearing thin (9.19%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (4.12%) · Brake discs showing some wear (2.26%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (2.18%) · Nail in tyre, monitor (2.02%)
