Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Position lamp not working 6.82%
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 5.81%
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 4.33%
Badly corroded brake pipes can leak or fail, which can cause a loss of braking, so repair is urgent.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 2.57%
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 1.78%
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 1.66%
A shock absorber leaking heavily has likely lost its damping, so the car will handle and brake less safely.
Common advisories
Brake pipes corroded and greasy (18.31%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (10.88%) · Brake pads wearing thin (5.9%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (4.09%) · Shock absorber light oil misting (3.72%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (3.04%)
