Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Position lamp not working 4.77%
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 3.61%
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 3.21%
Badly corroded brake pipes can leak or fail, which can cause a loss of braking, so repair is urgent.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 2.29%
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 1.91%
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 1.38%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Common advisories
Brake pipes corroded and greasy (15.36%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (10.62%) · Brake pads wearing thin (6.74%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (3.92%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (2.52%) · Shock absorber light oil misting (2.2%)
