Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.41%
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 1.35%
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 1.27%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.09%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Position lamp not working 1%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Tyre pressure monitoring system faulty 0.84%
A faulty tyre pressure monitor cannot warn about low tyre pressure, so check tyres manually and have the fault diagnosed.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (11.67%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (10.22%) · Brake pads wearing thin (7.62%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (6.26%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (5.23%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (1.72%)
