Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Coil spring fractured or broken 0.71%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 0.65%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Shock absorber serious fluid leak 0.45%
A shock absorber leaking heavily has likely lost its damping, so the car will handle and brake less safely.
Number plate missing or insecure 0.39%
A missing or loose number plate is illegal and must be fixed before the car is used on the road.
Number plate does not meet standards 0.26%
The plate does not meet legal specifications, so it must be replaced with a compliant one before the car is driven.
Headlamp aim set too low 0.26%
Headlamps aimed too low light the road poorly and reduce the driver's view ahead, especially at night.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (2.26%) · Shock absorber light oil misting (0.77%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (0.65%) · Brake hose ferrule slightly corroded (0.45%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (0.45%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (0.45%)
