Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Registration plate lamp not working 4.44%
A dark number plate lamp makes the plate hard to read at night, which is illegal and must be fixed.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 3.55%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 2.71%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.1%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 1.82%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Parking brake efficiency below minimum 1.75%
The parking brake holds the car less well than required, so it may roll on a slope and needs repair.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (13.51%) · Brake pads wearing thin (10.69%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (7.76%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (5.31%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (3.51%) · Brake discs showing some wear (3.13%)
