Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 2.56%
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 1.47%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Headlamp aim set too low 1.08%
Headlamps aimed too low light the road poorly and reduce the driver's view ahead, especially at night.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 0.98%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 0.93%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Windscreen washer fluid insufficient 0.74%
Washers are not supplying enough liquid, so the windscreen cannot be cleared properly, which is a safety issue.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (10.37%) · Brake pads wearing thin (8.01%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (4.57%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (3.88%) · Nail in tyre, monitor (2.46%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (2.26%)
