Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Service brakes uneven across an axle 7.22%
One wheel is braking much less than its pair, so the car may pull to one side and stop poorly.
Position lamp not working 5.79%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 5.24%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 5.17%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Stop lamp not working 5.11%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Rigid brake pipe excessively corroded 4.56%
Badly corroded brake pipes can leak or fail, which can cause a loss of braking, so repair is urgent.
Common advisories
Brake pipes corroded and greasy (27.3%) · Slight play in steering rack joints (19.33%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (15.45%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (15.32%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (14.84%) · Coil spring showing some corrosion (11.1%)
