Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Position lamp not working 5.54%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
CV joint boot split or insecure 4.69%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 4.25%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Headlamp beam pattern obviously incorrect 3.85%
A wrongly shaped beam can dazzle other drivers and reduce your own view of the road, so the lamps need correcting.
Exhaust has major gas leak 3.4%
A major exhaust leak can let poisonous gas into the car and is illegal, so it must be repaired before driving.
Anti-roll bar linkage dust cover unsealed 3.37%
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the linkage joint, speeding wear and possibly needing a future repair.
Common advisories
Engine oil leak, not excessive (14.57%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (14.31%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (13.66%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (10.39%) · Slight play in steering rack joints (10.25%) · Exhaust has minor gas leak (7.04%)
