Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 4.33%
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 0.73%
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 0.69%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Tyre pressure monitoring system faulty 0.49%
A faulty tyre pressure monitor cannot warn about low tyre pressure, so check tyres manually and have the fault diagnosed.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 0.44%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Front fog lamp not working 0.32%
A non-working fog lamp is a MOT fail, so check the bulb, fuse and wiring before you buy.
Common advisories
Brake pads wearing thin (4.98%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (4.73%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (3.07%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (2.75%) · Nail in tyre, monitor (1.62%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (1.46%)
