Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Coil spring fractured or broken 4.41%
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 3.09%
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the linkage joint, speeding wear and possibly needing a future repair.
Suspension arm pin/bush excessively worn 2.65%
Worn suspension arm bushes allow the wheel to move unpredictably, affecting steering, handling and tyre wear.
CV joint boot split or insecure 1.77%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 1.62%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Position lamp not working 1.52%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (13.3%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (11.4%) · Shock absorber light oil misting (9.95%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (7.83%) · Brake pads wearing thin (5.67%) · Sub-frame showing corrosion (4.88%)
