Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 3.41%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.42%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 1.82%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.55%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Windscreen washer fluid insufficient 1.31%
Washers are not supplying enough liquid, so the windscreen cannot be cleared properly, which is a safety issue.
CV joint boot split or insecure 1.22%
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 (18.11%) · Brake pads wearing thin (13.81%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (9.71%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (8.42%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (3.93%) · Brake discs showing some wear (3.11%)
