Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Position lamp not working 8.67%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
CV joint boot split or insecure 7.22%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Stop lamp not working 6.06%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Coil spring fractured or broken 5.57%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Anti-roll bar linkage dust cover unsealed 4.04%
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the linkage joint, speeding wear and possibly needing a future repair.
Direction indicator wrong colour 3.29%
An indicator showing the wrong colour may confuse other drivers, so the lens or bulb should be replaced.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (16.55%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (16.42%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (9.66%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (7.22%) · Coil spring showing some corrosion (6.7%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (6.67%)
