Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Parking brake efficiency below minimum 6.78%
The parking brake holds the car less well than required, so it may roll on a slope and needs repair.
Suspension arm pin/bush excessively worn 6.42%
Worn suspension arm bushes allow the wheel to move unpredictably, affecting steering, handling and tyre wear.
Track rod end ball joint excessively worn 4.18%
Worn steering ball joints can affect steering control and safety, so repair is needed before the car is driven.
Position lamp not working 3.72%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 3.62%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
Seat belt anchor area weakened 3.11%
Corrosion near a seat belt anchor can weaken the body and make the belt fail, so expert repair is needed.
