Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Coil spring fractured or broken 6.59%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Position lamp not working 5.8%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 5.6%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Windscreen washer fluid insufficient 4.61%
Washers are not supplying enough liquid, so the windscreen cannot be cleared properly, which is a safety issue.
Headlamp beam pattern obviously incorrect 4.16%
A wrongly shaped beam can dazzle other drivers and reduce your own view of the road, so the lamps need correcting.
CV joint boot split or insecure 3.82%
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 (19.88%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (15.52%) · Coil spring showing some corrosion (9.67%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (8.78%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (8.33%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (6.69%)
