Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 3.46%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.34%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 1.32%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Windscreen washer fluid insufficient 0.76%
Washers are not supplying enough liquid, so the windscreen cannot be cleared properly, which is a safety issue.
Brake discs significantly worn 0.72%
Heavily worn discs reduce braking performance and wear pads faster, so a replacement will soon be needed.
Tyre bulge from structural failure 0.71%
A bulge means the tyre's structure has failed and it could burst suddenly, so it must be replaced at once.
Common advisories
Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (13.82%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (9.85%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (8.53%) · Brake pads wearing thin (4.84%) · Brake discs showing some wear (2.82%) · Nail in tyre, monitor (1.54%)
