Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Position lamp not working 2.41%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 2.19%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Rear fog lamp not working 1.89%
A failed rear fog lamp reduces visibility in fog and leaves you less visible to following traffic, so repair it.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.85%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Anti-roll bar linkage dust cover unsealed 1.85%
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the linkage joint, speeding wear and possibly needing a future repair.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.79%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (9.58%) · Brake pads wearing thin (8.13%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (5%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (3.26%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (2.81%) · Linkage ball joint slight play (1.94%)
