Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Parking brake efficiency below minimum 6.82%
The parking brake holds the car less well than required, so it may roll on a slope and needs repair.
Parking brake inoperative on one side 3.56%
The parking brake does not work on one side, so the car may not hold on a slope and needs repair.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 3.44%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Position lamp not working 3.4%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Steering rack gaiter no longer sealed 3.05%
A damaged gaiter lets dirt into the steering rack, causing wear and possibly costly repairs later.
Service brake excessively binding 2.88%
A brake that drags when released can overheat, wear quickly and waste fuel, so it needs prompt inspection.
Common advisories
Brake disc pitted or scored (13.89%) · Suspension ball joint slight play (8.65%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (7.47%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (7.05%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (6.65%) · Brake pads wearing thin (6.19%)
