Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Ball joint dust cover no longer sealed 1.97%
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the joint, speeding wear, so the joint may need replacing later.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 1.59%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Airbag warning lamp shows fault 1.34%
A lit airbag warning means the airbag system may not deploy in a crash, so it needs diagnosing and repairing.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 1.25%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 1.19%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 0.97%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (7.89%) · Brake pads wearing thin (6.83%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (3.7%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (3.36%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (3.36%) · Tyre has a shallow cut (2.15%)
