Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 4.89%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 0.95%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 0.82%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 0.81%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 0.57%
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 0.57%
Washers are not supplying enough liquid, so the windscreen cannot be cleared properly, which is a safety issue.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (7.09%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (5%) · Brake pads wearing thin (2.93%) · Suspension ball joint slight play (2.17%) · Brake discs showing some wear (1.65%) · Nail in tyre, monitor (1.41%)
