Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Lambda reading outside specified limits 1.68%
An out-of-range lambda reading suggests poor fuel mixture or a failing catalytic converter, so diagnosis is needed.
Position lamp not working 1.6%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
CV joint boot split or insecure 1.34%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Rigid brake pipe excessively corroded 1.23%
Badly corroded brake pipes can leak or fail, which can cause a loss of braking, so repair is urgent.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.08%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Dipped beam headlamp not working 0.94%
A failed dipped beam makes it hard to see and be seen at night, so the lamp needs fixing before driving.
Common advisories
Brake pipes corroded and greasy (12.61%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (8.62%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (8.13%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (5.54%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (3.91%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (2.03%)
