Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 2.17%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Rigid brake pipe excessively corroded 1.77%
Badly corroded brake pipes can leak or fail, which can cause a loss of braking, so repair is urgent.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.58%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Position lamp not working 1.57%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.21%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Airbag warning lamp shows fault 1.18%
A lit airbag warning means the airbag system may not deploy in a crash, so it needs diagnosing and repairing.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (10.71%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (9.2%) · Brake pads wearing thin (7.18%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (4.5%) · Anti-roll bar pin/bush showing wear (2.3%) · Shock absorber casing slightly damaged (1.87%)
