Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Coil spring fractured or broken 2.88%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 2.74%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Suspension arm pin/bush excessively worn 2.14%
Worn suspension arm bushes allow the wheel to move unpredictably, affecting steering, handling and tyre wear.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.93%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 1.59%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Headlamp aim set too low 1.43%
Headlamps aimed too low light the road poorly and reduce the driver's view ahead, especially at night.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (15.37%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (10.59%) · Brake pads wearing thin (6.72%) · Suspension arm showing corrosion (4.65%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (4.09%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (3.15%)
