Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 4.89%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Stop lamp not working 4.77%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.17%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Registration plate lamp not working 2.01%
A dark number plate lamp makes the plate hard to read at night, which is illegal and must be fixed.
Position lamp not working 1.92%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Windscreen washer fluid insufficient 1.77%
Washers are not supplying enough liquid, so the windscreen cannot be cleared properly, which is a safety issue.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (13.57%) · Brake pads wearing thin (4.34%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (4.03%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (3.47%) · Optional stop lamp not working (2.6%) · Nail in tyre, monitor (2.29%)
