Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 1.64%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Airbag warning lamp shows fault 1.53%
A lit airbag warning means the airbag system may not deploy in a crash, so it needs diagnosing and repairing.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.45%
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 1.1%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Ball joint dust cover no longer sealed 0.98%
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the joint, speeding wear, so the joint may need replacing later.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 0.63%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Common advisories
Brake pads wearing thin (8.57%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (7.01%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (4.26%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (2.79%) · Brake discs showing some wear (2.29%) · Tyre has a shallow cut (1.97%)
