Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 3.36%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.9%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 1.97%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Position lamp not working 1.93%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Windscreen washer fluid insufficient 1.1%
Washers are not supplying enough liquid, so the windscreen cannot be cleared properly, which is a safety issue.
Headlamp aim set too low 0.97%
Headlamps aimed too low light the road poorly and reduce the driver's view ahead, especially at night.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (13.97%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (8.87%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (6.88%) · Brake pads wearing thin (6.88%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (4.1%) · Brake discs showing some wear (2.37%)
