Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Stop lamp not working 6.01%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 5.22%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Registration plate lamp not working 3.81%
A dark number plate lamp makes the plate hard to read at night, which is illegal and must be fixed.
Position lamp not working 2.94%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.66%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 2.39%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (14.91%) · Brake pads wearing thin (6.26%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (5.2%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (4.93%) · Optional stop lamp not working (3.11%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (2.47%)
