Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.66%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.14%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Suspension arm pin/bush excessively worn 0.96%
Worn suspension arm bushes allow the wheel to move unpredictably, affecting steering, handling and tyre wear.
Windscreen washer fluid insufficient 0.83%
Washers are not supplying enough liquid, so the windscreen cannot be cleared properly, which is a safety issue.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 0.52%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 0.39%
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 (9%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (7.3%) · Brake pads wearing thin (5.07%) · Shock absorber light oil misting (2.53%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (2.23%) · Slight play in steering rack joints (0.96%)
