Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Position lamp not working 9.38%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Stop lamp not working 5.77%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Ball joint dust cover no longer sealed 4.99%
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the joint, speeding wear, so the joint may need replacing later.
CV joint boot split or insecure 4.66%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Parking brake efficiency below minimum 3.77%
The parking brake holds the car less well than required, so it may roll on a slope and needs repair.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 3.22%
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 (17.7%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (13.43%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (9.99%) · Brake pads wearing thin (8.71%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (4.83%) · Slight play in steering rack joints (4.16%)
