Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Parking brake efficiency below minimum 3.03%
The parking brake holds the car less well than required, so it may roll on a slope and needs repair.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 2.87%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Shock absorber serious fluid leak 2.56%
A shock absorber leaking heavily has likely lost its damping, so the car will handle and brake less safely.
Position lamp not working 2.32%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Anti-roll bar linkage dust cover unsealed 1.86%
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the linkage joint, speeding wear and possibly needing a future repair.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.85%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (13.8%) · Brake pads wearing thin (12.49%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (9.88%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (9.74%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (6.54%) · Shock absorber light oil misting (5.15%)
