Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 2.91%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Anti-roll bar linkage pin/bush excessively worn 0.67%
Worn linkage pins or bushes cause knocking and poor handling, and can get worse, so they need replacing.
Headlamp aim set too high 0.52%
Headlamps aimed too high can dazzle other drivers, and adjusting them is usually a quick job.
Anti-roll bar pin or bush excessively worn 0.45%
Worn anti-roll bar bushes cause knocking noises and reduce handling stability, so they should be replaced.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 0.45%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Headlamp aim set too low 0.37%
Headlamps aimed too low light the road poorly and reduce the driver's view ahead, especially at night.
Common advisories
Brake pads wearing thin (8.28%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (5.97%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (4.4%) · Anti-roll bar linkage pin/bush worn (3.96%) · Anti-roll bar pin/bush showing wear (2.99%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (1.49%)
