Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Suspension arm pin/bush excessively worn 2.24%
Worn suspension arm bushes allow the wheel to move unpredictably, affecting steering, handling and tyre wear.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.79%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Dipped beam headlamp not working 1.35%
A failed dipped beam makes it hard to see and be seen at night, so the lamp needs fixing before driving.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.21%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 1.21%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 1.06%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (13.81%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (11.87%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (9.09%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (7.88%) · Brake pads wearing thin (6.51%) · Slight play in steering rack joints (3.37%)
