Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 2.39%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.27%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 1.22%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 1.17%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Headlamp aim set too high 0.85%
Headlamps aimed too high can dazzle other drivers, and adjusting them is usually a quick job.
Diesel engine warning light faulty 0.74%
A lit or non-working engine warning light can hide faults, so diagnosis is needed before buying.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (8.77%) · Brake pads wearing thin (7.57%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (7.09%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (1.99%) · Tyre has a shallow cut (1.67%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (1.67%)
