Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Track rod end ball joint excessively worn 2.96%
Worn steering ball joints can affect steering control and safety, so repair is needed before the car is driven.
Position lamp not working 2.84%
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 2.55%
A shock absorber leaking heavily has likely lost its damping, so the car will handle and brake less safely.
Stop lamp not working 2.53%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Coil spring fractured or broken 2.27%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.05%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (14.29%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (9.21%) · Brake pads wearing thin (6.83%) · Sub-frame showing corrosion (5.35%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (5.21%) · Linkage ball joint slight play (3.61%)
