Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.9%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Position lamp not working 1.88%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Stop lamp not working 1.87%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.81%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 1.3%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Windscreen washer fluid insufficient 0.77%
Washers are not supplying enough liquid, so the windscreen cannot be cleared properly, which is a safety issue.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (14.89%) · Brake pads wearing thin (7.97%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (7.28%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (4.87%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (3.3%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (2.94%)
