Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 2.16%
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 1.6%
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%
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 0.86%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Headlamp aim set too low 0.57%
Headlamps aimed too low light the road poorly and reduce the driver's view ahead, especially at night.
Windscreen washer fluid insufficient 0.47%
Washers are not supplying enough liquid, so the windscreen cannot be cleared properly, which is a safety issue.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (11.16%) · Brake pads wearing thin (8.75%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (8.07%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (3.55%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (1.96%) · Tyre has a shallow cut (1.9%)
