Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Parking brake efficiency below minimum 7.45%
The parking brake holds the car less well than required, so it may roll on a slope and needs repair.
Position lamp not working 3.8%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 3.55%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
Parking brake inoperative on one side 3.32%
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 3.27%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Steering rack gaiter no longer sealed 3.01%
A damaged gaiter lets dirt into the steering rack, causing wear and possibly costly repairs later.
Common advisories
Brake disc pitted or scored (13.94%) · Suspension ball joint slight play (11.31%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (6.81%) · Brake pads wearing thin (6.25%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (5.87%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (5.41%)
