Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Parking brake efficiency below minimum 6.18%
The parking brake holds the car less well than required, so it may roll on a slope and needs repair.
Exhaust has major gas leak 4.13%
A major exhaust leak can let poisonous gas into the car and is illegal, so it must be repaired before driving.
Position lamp not working 3.8%
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 3.77%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 3.37%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Steering rack gaiter no longer sealed 3.25%
A damaged gaiter lets dirt into the steering rack, causing wear and possibly costly repairs later.
Common advisories
Engine oil leak, not excessive (14.93%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (13.53%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (11.63%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (11.56%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (11.42%) · Exhaust has minor gas leak (8.51%)
