Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Stop lamp not working 8.92%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Position lamp not working 7.99%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Coil spring fractured or broken 6.2%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 4.42%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Dipped beam headlamp not working 4.33%
A failed dipped beam makes it hard to see and be seen at night, so the lamp needs fixing before driving.
CV joint boot split or insecure 3.96%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (20.09%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (13.17%) · Brake pads wearing thin (9.53%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (7.14%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (4.75%) · Brake discs showing some wear (3.59%)
