Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 2.15%
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 1.22%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Windscreen washer fluid insufficient 0.91%
Washers are not supplying enough liquid, so the windscreen cannot be cleared properly, which is a safety issue.
Headlamp aim set too high 0.82%
Headlamps aimed too high can dazzle other drivers, and adjusting them is usually a quick job.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 0.81%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Diesel engine warning light faulty 0.61%
A lit or non-working engine warning light can hide faults, so diagnosis is needed before buying.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (7.79%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (4.05%) · Brake pads wearing thin (3.97%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (1.46%) · Anti-roll bar pin/bush showing wear (1.27%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (0.98%)
