Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Stop lamp not working 2.77%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Position lamp not working 2.75%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Shock absorber serious fluid leak 2.69%
A shock absorber leaking heavily has likely lost its damping, so the car will handle and brake less safely.
Coil spring fractured or broken 2.3%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.06%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Parking brake efficiency below minimum 1.94%
The parking brake holds the car less well than required, so it may roll on a slope and needs repair.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (14.85%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (9.65%) · Sub-frame showing corrosion (7.39%) · Brake pads wearing thin (6.93%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (6.32%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (5.95%)
