Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 2.79%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 1.08%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 0.91%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Tyre pressure monitoring system faulty 0.9%
A faulty tyre pressure monitor cannot warn about low tyre pressure, so check tyres manually and have the fault diagnosed.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 0.68%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Suspension arm pin/bush excessively worn 0.6%
Worn suspension arm bushes allow the wheel to move unpredictably, affecting steering, handling and tyre wear.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (10.72%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (7.38%) · Brake pads wearing thin (6.16%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (5.78%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (5.61%) · Brake discs showing some wear (2.66%)
