Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Position lamp not working 4.97%
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 3.39%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Suspension arm pin/bush excessively worn 2.7%
Worn suspension arm bushes allow the wheel to move unpredictably, affecting steering, handling and tyre wear.
CV joint boot split or insecure 2.57%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Rigid brake pipe excessively corroded 2.31%
Badly corroded brake pipes can leak or fail, which can cause a loss of braking, so repair is urgent.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 2.19%
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 (14.5%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (11.2%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (9.76%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (6.67%) · Brake pads wearing thin (6.57%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (4.13%)
