Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
CV joint boot split or insecure 5.98%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Stop lamp not working 5.69%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Service brakes uneven across an axle 5.52%
One wheel is braking much less than its pair, so the car may pull to one side and stop poorly.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 4.92%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Lambda reading outside specified limits 4.8%
An out-of-range lambda reading suggests poor fuel mixture or a failing catalytic converter, so diagnosis is needed.
Position lamp not working 4.8%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Common advisories
Engine oil leak, not excessive (14.48%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (13.97%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (10.66%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (7.61%) · Exhaust has minor gas leak (6.79%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (4.83%)
