Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Suspension arm pin/bush excessively worn 3.62%
Worn suspension arm bushes allow the wheel to move unpredictably, affecting steering, handling and tyre wear.
Rigid brake pipe excessively corroded 3.12%
Badly corroded brake pipes can leak or fail, which can cause a loss of braking, so repair is urgent.
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 3.05%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
Position lamp not working 2.17%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 1.95%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
CV joint boot split or insecure 1.92%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Common advisories
Brake pipes corroded and greasy (17.67%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (14%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (11.71%) · Sub-frame showing corrosion (6.73%) · Brake pads wearing thin (6.71%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (5.7%)
