Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Coil spring fractured or broken 11.93%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Position lamp not working 8.89%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
CV joint boot split or insecure 5.43%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 3.4%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Suspension arm pin/bush excessively worn 3.32%
Worn suspension arm bushes allow the wheel to move unpredictably, affecting steering, handling and tyre wear.
Shock absorber serious fluid leak 3.08%
A shock absorber leaking heavily has likely lost its damping, so the car will handle and brake less safely.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (17.9%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (15.33%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (10.64%) · Brake pads wearing thin (9.55%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (7.99%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (7.68%)
