Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Coil spring fractured or broken 10.87%
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 9.66%
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 7.99%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Rigid brake pipe excessively corroded 6.82%
Badly corroded brake pipes can leak or fail, which can cause a loss of braking, so repair is urgent.
Registration plate lamp not working 5.37%
A dark number plate lamp makes the plate hard to read at night, which is illegal and must be fixed.
Stop lamp not working 5.25%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Common advisories
Brake pipes corroded and greasy (22.97%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (20.72%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (14.32%) · Brake pads wearing thin (10.04%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (6.52%) · Track rod ball joint slight play (5.47%)
