Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Parking brake efficiency below minimum 3.43%
The parking brake holds the car less well than required, so it may roll on a slope and needs repair.
Position lamp not working 2.64%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 2.55%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
CV joint boot split or insecure 2.2%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.76%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Diesel engine warning light faulty 1.59%
A lit or non-working engine warning light can hide faults, so diagnosis is needed before buying.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (7.57%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (7.31%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (6.08%) · Brake pads wearing thin (4.58%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (3.74%) · Service brake slightly binding (2.91%)
