Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Position lamp not working 8.01%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Rear fog lamp not working 6.35%
A failed rear fog lamp reduces visibility in fog and leaves you less visible to following traffic, so repair it.
Rigid brake pipe excessively corroded 6.13%
Badly corroded brake pipes can leak or fail, which can cause a loss of braking, so repair is urgent.
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 5.43%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
CV joint boot split or insecure 4.93%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 3.25%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Common advisories
Brake pipes corroded and greasy (27.39%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (12.06%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (6.87%) · Chassis corroded but still rigid (6.7%) · Brake pads wearing thin (4.43%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (3.79%)
