Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Position lamp not working 2.71%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 2.29%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Fuel filler cap ineffective 1.63%
A faulty fuel cap can let fuel vapour escape and may trigger warning lights, so a replacement is usually simple.
Headlamp aim set too low 1.46%
Headlamps aimed too low light the road poorly and reduce the driver's view ahead, especially at night.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.36%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Lambda reading outside specified limits 1.15%
An out-of-range lambda reading suggests poor fuel mixture or a failing catalytic converter, so diagnosis is needed.
Common advisories
Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (11.83%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (11.59%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (5.1%) · Brake pads wearing thin (4.13%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (3.75%) · Brake discs showing some wear (2.17%)
