Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Coil spring fractured or broken 9.67%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Parking brake inoperative on one side 8.84%
The parking brake does not work on one side, so the car may not hold on a slope and needs repair.
Parking brake efficiency below minimum 8.28%
The parking brake holds the car less well than required, so it may roll on a slope and needs repair.
Track rod end ball joint excessively worn 4.19%
Worn steering ball joints can affect steering control and safety, so repair is needed before the car is driven.
Parking brake efficiency under half required 4.09%
The parking brake is well below required strength and is unlikely to hold the car on a slope.
Registration plate lamp not working 3.91%
A dark number plate lamp makes the plate hard to read at night, which is illegal and must be fixed.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (13.49%) · Brake pads wearing thin (8.65%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (6.51%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (4.47%) · Linkage ball joint slight play (4.09%) · Track rod ball joint slight play (3.26%)
