Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Position lamp not working 4.27%
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 3.6%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Track rod end ball joint excessively worn 3.13%
Worn steering ball joints can affect steering control and safety, so repair is needed before the car is driven.
Shock absorber serious fluid leak 2.5%
A shock absorber leaking heavily has likely lost its damping, so the car will handle and brake less safely.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.31%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Anti-roll bar linkage ball joint worn 2.29%
A worn linkage ball joint can rattle, affect handling and eventually fail, so it should be replaced.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (14.82%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (10%) · Sub-frame showing corrosion (9.68%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (9.11%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (6.81%) · Brake pads wearing thin (6.51%)
