Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 3.15%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.02%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 1.13%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Suspension arm pin/bush excessively worn 0.69%
Worn suspension arm bushes allow the wheel to move unpredictably, affecting steering, handling and tyre wear.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 0.64%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 0.59%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (11.92%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (6.85%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (5.47%) · Brake pads wearing thin (4.38%) · Brake discs showing some wear (3.2%) · Nail in tyre, monitor (2.46%)
