Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 2.1%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 0.91%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Headlamp aim set too low 0.86%
Headlamps aimed too low light the road poorly and reduce the driver's view ahead, especially at night.
Tyre pressure monitoring system faulty 0.53%
A faulty tyre pressure monitor cannot warn about low tyre pressure, so check tyres manually and have the fault diagnosed.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 0.38%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 0.29%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (7.36%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (5.02%) · Tyre has a shallow cut (2.01%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (1.43%) · Brake pads wearing thin (1.39%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (1.15%)
