Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Coil spring fractured or broken 9.19%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Position lamp not working 8.13%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Headlamp beam pattern obviously incorrect 7.97%
A wrongly shaped beam can dazzle other drivers and reduce your own view of the road, so the lamps need correcting.
Track rod end ball joint excessively worn 5.57%
Worn steering ball joints can affect steering control and safety, so repair is needed before the car is driven.
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 4.84%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
Parking brake efficiency below minimum 4.26%
The parking brake holds the car less well than required, so it may roll on a slope and needs repair.
Common advisories
Brake disc pitted or scored (17.71%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (17.32%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (13.87%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (12.75%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (9.42%) · Coil spring showing some corrosion (7.23%)
