Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
CV joint boot split or insecure 6.07%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Position lamp not working 5.35%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Parking brake efficiency below minimum 4.46%
The parking brake holds the car less well than required, so it may roll on a slope and needs repair.
Dipped beam headlamp not working 3.01%
A failed dipped beam makes it hard to see and be seen at night, so the lamp needs fixing before driving.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 2.85%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 2.51%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Common advisories
Brake pipes corroded and greasy (12.53%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (9.04%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (8.96%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (6.33%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (5.94%) · Brake pads wearing thin (5.9%)
