Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
CV joint boot split or insecure 2.41%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 0.89%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 0.77%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Headlamp aim set too low 0.62%
Headlamps aimed too low light the road poorly and reduce the driver's view ahead, especially at night.
Suspension arm pin/bush excessively worn 0.62%
Worn suspension arm bushes allow the wheel to move unpredictably, affecting steering, handling and tyre wear.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 0.55%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (8.56%) · Brake pads wearing thin (3.45%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (3.32%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (2.54%) · Coil spring showing some corrosion (2.37%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (1.9%)
