Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Position lamp not working 6.85%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Stop lamp not working 6.81%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
CV joint boot split or insecure 5.55%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 5.2%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Exhaust has major gas leak 3.71%
A major exhaust leak can let poisonous gas into the car and is illegal, so it must be repaired before driving.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 3.67%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Common advisories
Engine oil leak, not excessive (21.93%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (18.75%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (17.72%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (12.09%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (11.4%) · Exhaust has minor gas leak (6.2%)
