Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Coil spring fractured or broken 5.97%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 3.78%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.84%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Suspension arm pin/bush excessively worn 1.15%
Worn suspension arm bushes allow the wheel to move unpredictably, affecting steering, handling and tyre wear.
Windscreen washer fluid insufficient 0.66%
Washers are not supplying enough liquid, so the windscreen cannot be cleared properly, which is a safety issue.
Tyre pressure monitoring system faulty 0.63%
A faulty tyre pressure monitor cannot warn about low tyre pressure, so check tyres manually and have the fault diagnosed.
Common advisories
Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (12.46%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (11.99%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (5.29%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (3.39%) · Brake pads wearing thin (3.05%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (1.56%)
