Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Steering rack gaiter no longer sealed 6.25%
A damaged gaiter lets dirt into the steering rack, causing wear and possibly costly repairs later.
Position lamp not working 5.12%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Track rod end ball joint excessively worn 4.93%
Worn steering ball joints can affect steering control and safety, so repair is needed before the car is driven.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 4.72%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
CV joint boot split or insecure 4.45%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 4.12%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (17.07%) · Slight play in steering rack joints (11.71%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (9.5%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (9.2%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (8.69%) · Anti-roll bar linkage pin/bush worn (6.55%)
