Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Coil spring fractured or broken 3.78%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.2%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.73%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
ABS warning lamp shows a fault 1.34%
A lit ABS warning means the anti-lock system may not work, so wheels could lock during emergency braking.
Parking brake efficiency below minimum 1.18%
The parking brake holds the car less well than required, so it may roll on a slope and needs repair.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 1.18%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (13.46%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (7.01%) · Coil spring showing some corrosion (5.04%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (3.46%) · Brake pads wearing thin (2.36%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (2.2%)
