Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Tyre ply or cords exposed 2.04%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Position lamp not working 2.04%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.76%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Headlamp aim set too high 1%
Headlamps aimed too high can dazzle other drivers, and adjusting them is usually a quick job.
Registration plate lamp not working 0.88%
A dark number plate lamp makes the plate hard to read at night, which is illegal and must be fixed.
Headlamp aim set too low 0.84%
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 (14.66%) · Brake pads wearing thin (5.19%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (4.75%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (4.31%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (2.8%) · Seat belt webbing slightly frayed (2.12%)
