Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Position lamp not working 7.69%
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 5.52%
Worn steering ball joints can affect steering control and safety, so repair is needed before the car is driven.
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 5.05%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
CV joint boot split or insecure 4.57%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Stop lamp not working 4.55%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Passenger door cannot open from outside 4.02%
The passenger door cannot be opened from outside, which blocks escape in an emergency, so it must be repaired.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (13.45%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (12.4%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (10.21%) · Chassis corroded but still rigid (8.97%) · Suspension ball joint slight play (8.28%) · Brake pads wearing thin (8.07%)
