Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Position lamp not working 6.88%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Track rod end ball joint excessively worn 6.44%
Worn steering ball joints can affect steering control and safety, so repair is needed before the car is driven.
CV joint boot split or insecure 5.19%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Windscreen washer fluid insufficient 4.56%
Washers are not supplying enough liquid, so the windscreen cannot be cleared properly, which is a safety issue.
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 3.94%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
Airbag warning lamp shows fault 3.39%
A lit airbag warning means the airbag system may not deploy in a crash, so it needs diagnosing and repairing.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (12.52%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (10.49%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (8.09%) · Suspension ball joint slight play (7.29%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (6.89%) · Brake pads wearing thin (6.42%)
