Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 4.75%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.62%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 2.39%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Suspension arm pin/bush excessively worn 1.17%
Worn suspension arm bushes allow the wheel to move unpredictably, affecting steering, handling and tyre wear.
Windscreen washer fluid insufficient 1.05%
Washers are not supplying enough liquid, so the windscreen cannot be cleared properly, which is a safety issue.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 0.87%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (13.39%) · Brake pads wearing thin (10.04%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (7.17%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (3.45%) · Brake discs showing some wear (2.28%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (1.93%)
