Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 1.91%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.61%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 1.4%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.06%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Dipped beam headlamp not working 0.92%
A failed dipped beam makes it hard to see and be seen at night, so the lamp needs fixing before driving.
Diesel engine warning light faulty 0.9%
A lit or non-working engine warning light can hide faults, so diagnosis is needed before buying.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (11.82%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (10.83%) · Brake pads wearing thin (9.31%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (4.66%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (2.89%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (2.06%)
