Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Headlamp aim set too low 0.75%
Headlamps aimed too low light the road poorly and reduce the driver's view ahead, especially at night.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 0.75%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Carbon monoxide above manufacturer's idle limit 0.58%
Exceeding the manufacturer's idle limit suggests engine tuning or emission faults, so the car needs diagnosis before buying.
Carbon monoxide high after fast idle 0.5%
High carbon monoxide can point to engine or catalytic converter faults, so ask for diagnosis before buying.
Position lamp not working 0.5%
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 0.5%
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 (5.07%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (3.07%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (2.82%) · Brake pads wearing thin (1.5%) · Linkage ball joint slight play (1.41%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (1.08%)
