Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Coil spring fractured or broken 3.65%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Suspension arm pin/bush excessively worn 3.4%
Worn suspension arm bushes allow the wheel to move unpredictably, affecting steering, handling and tyre wear.
Anti-roll bar linkage dust cover unsealed 3.33%
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the linkage joint, speeding wear and possibly needing a future repair.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 2.34%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Position lamp not working 2.26%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.08%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (16.12%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (11.5%) · Brake pads wearing thin (5.73%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (5.03%) · Linkage ball joint slight play (4.34%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (4.03%)
