Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Coil spring fractured or broken 10.54%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Position lamp not working 7.62%
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 5.32%
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 3.09%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Registration plate lamp not working 2.56%
A dark number plate lamp makes the plate hard to read at night, which is illegal and must be fixed.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.37%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (17.04%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (15.82%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (10.61%) · Brake pads wearing thin (8.66%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (7.31%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (6.89%)
