Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 1.1%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Suspension arm pin/bush excessively worn 0.93%
Worn suspension arm bushes allow the wheel to move unpredictably, affecting steering, handling and tyre wear.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 0.9%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 0.75%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 0.39%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Horn not working 0.36%
A non-working horn removes a key warning tool for other road users, so it must be repaired before driving.
