Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 3.06%
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 2.04%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.07%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 0.97%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Headlamp aim set too high 0.58%
Headlamps aimed too high can dazzle other drivers, and adjusting them is usually a quick job.
Tyre pressure monitoring system faulty 0.58%
A faulty tyre pressure monitor cannot warn about low tyre pressure, so check tyres manually and have the fault diagnosed.
Common advisories
Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (10.78%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (10.35%) · Brake pads wearing thin (10.3%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (5.53%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (2.18%) · Nail in tyre, monitor (1.8%)
