Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
CV joint boot split or insecure 10.91%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Track rod end ball joint excessively worn 9.2%
Worn steering ball joints can affect steering control and safety, so repair is needed before the car is driven.
Coil spring fractured or broken 8.18%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Stop lamp not working 7.15%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Registration plate lamp not working 6.44%
A dark number plate lamp makes the plate hard to read at night, which is illegal and must be fixed.
Rigid brake pipe excessively corroded 6.17%
Badly corroded brake pipes can leak or fail, which can cause a loss of braking, so repair is urgent.
Common advisories
Brake pipes corroded and greasy (21.79%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (18.16%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (14.78%) · Brake pads wearing thin (8.48%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (7.71%) · Track rod ball joint slight play (5.91%)
