Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.69%
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 1.33%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 1.13%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Headlamp aim set too low 1%
Headlamps aimed too low light the road poorly and reduce the driver's view ahead, especially at night.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 0.59%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Windscreen washer fluid insufficient 0.41%
Washers are not supplying enough liquid, so the windscreen cannot be cleared properly, which is a safety issue.
Common advisories
Brake disc pitted or scored (8.87%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (8.11%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (7.81%) · Brake pads wearing thin (7.29%) · Nail in tyre, monitor (1.75%) · Brake discs showing some wear (1.68%)
