Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Coil spring fractured or broken 8.87%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
CV joint boot split or insecure 7.6%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Stop lamp not working 5.9%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Track rod end ball joint excessively worn 4.13%
Worn steering ball joints can affect steering control and safety, so repair is needed before the car is driven.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 3.31%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Anti-roll bar linkage ball joint worn 2.38%
A worn linkage ball joint can rattle, affect handling and eventually fail, so it should be replaced.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (15.55%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (13.9%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (11%) · Brake pads wearing thin (9.78%) · Linkage ball joint slight play (5.04%) · Brake discs showing some wear (4.06%)
