Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Stop lamp not working 6.98%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Position lamp not working 6.52%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Airbag warning lamp shows fault 5.86%
A lit airbag warning means the airbag system may not deploy in a crash, so it needs diagnosing and repairing.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 4.5%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 4.1%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
CV joint boot split or insecure 4%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Common advisories
Engine oil leak, not excessive (21.25%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (17.82%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (13.31%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (10.63%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (10.05%) · Exhaust has minor gas leak (5.68%)
