Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Shock absorber serious fluid leak 2.09%
A shock absorber leaking heavily has likely lost its damping, so the car will handle and brake less safely.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 1.65%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 1.37%
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 1.24%
Worn suspension arm bushes allow the wheel to move unpredictably, affecting steering, handling and tyre wear.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.19%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 0.94%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (11.76%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (9.73%) · Shock absorber light oil misting (7.45%) · Brake pads wearing thin (6.87%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (5.04%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (2.53%)
