Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Stop lamp not working 9.22%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Dipped beam headlamp not working 4.27%
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 3.81%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 3.81%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 3.38%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Registration plate lamp not working 3.16%
A dark number plate lamp makes the plate hard to read at night, which is illegal and must be fixed.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (20.8%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (11.97%) · Brake pads wearing thin (10.29%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (5.9%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (5.22%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (4.18%)
