Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Coil spring fractured or broken 1.44%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 1.34%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Headlamp beam pattern obviously incorrect 1.21%
A wrongly shaped beam can dazzle other drivers and reduce your own view of the road, so the lamps need correcting.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.01%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 0.97%
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 0.88%
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 (8.76%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (8.55%) · Shock absorber light oil misting (7.59%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (6.61%) · Brake pads wearing thin (5.96%) · Brake discs showing some wear (1.49%)
