Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.32%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 1.26%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 0.83%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 0.7%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Headlamp aim set too high 0.41%
Headlamps aimed too high can dazzle other drivers, and adjusting them is usually a quick job.
Suspension arm pin/bush excessively worn 0.28%
Worn suspension arm bushes allow the wheel to move unpredictably, affecting steering, handling and tyre wear.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (11.2%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (6.68%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (2.29%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (2.18%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (1.66%) · Brake pads wearing thin (1.63%)
