Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Parking brake efficiency below minimum 7.36%
The parking brake holds the car less well than required, so it may roll on a slope and needs repair.
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 4.1%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
Position lamp not working 3.79%
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 3.45%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Parking brake inoperative on one side 3.22%
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 3.07%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Common advisories
Brake disc pitted or scored (13.8%) · Suspension ball joint slight play (10.66%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (6.98%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (6.71%) · Brake pads wearing thin (5.98%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (5.86%)
