Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Stop lamp not working 8.62%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Coil spring fractured or broken 7.28%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Track rod end ball joint excessively worn 4.54%
Worn steering ball joints can affect steering control and safety, so repair is needed before the car is driven.
CV joint boot split or insecure 3.34%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 3.31%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 3.1%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (20.72%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (12.91%) · Brake pads wearing thin (11.78%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (8.05%) · Linkage ball joint slight play (5.21%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (4.89%)
