Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 3.57%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 2.75%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 1.81%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Anti-roll bar linkage ball joint worn 1.81%
A worn linkage ball joint can rattle, affect handling and eventually fail, so it should be replaced.
Headlamp aim set too low 1.5%
Headlamps aimed too low light the road poorly and reduce the driver's view ahead, especially at night.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.44%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (17.4%) · Brake pads wearing thin (10.01%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (7.32%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (4.51%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (4.44%) · Brake discs showing some wear (3.25%)
