Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.25%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Headlamp aim set too high 0.65%
Headlamps aimed too high can dazzle other drivers, and adjusting them is usually a quick job.
Coil spring fractured or broken 0.51%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
LED or HID headlamp cleaner inoperative 0.48%
Without a working cleaner, dirt can build up on LED or HID lenses and reduce light output, so repair is needed.
Windscreen washer fluid insufficient 0.3%
Washers are not supplying enough liquid, so the windscreen cannot be cleared properly, which is a safety issue.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 0.3%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Common advisories
Brake disc pitted or scored (4.75%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (3.39%) · Brake pads wearing thin (0.71%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (0.56%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (0.48%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (0.42%)
