Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 3.35%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 2.32%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Coil spring fractured or broken 2.22%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Stop lamp not working 1.79%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 1.78%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Rigid brake pipe excessively corroded 1.18%
Badly corroded brake pipes can leak or fail, which can cause a loss of braking, so repair is urgent.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (16.91%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (8.41%) · Brake pads wearing thin (8.17%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (6.61%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (6.21%) · Service brake slightly binding (2.9%)
