Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 2.8%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 1.78%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.47%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 1.42%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Windscreen washer fluid insufficient 0.9%
Washers are not supplying enough liquid, so the windscreen cannot be cleared properly, which is a safety issue.
CV joint boot split or insecure 0.8%
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 (12.89%) · Brake pads wearing thin (10.89%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (6.52%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (5.91%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (5.17%) · Brake discs showing some wear (2.01%)
