Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Anti-roll bar linkage dust cover unsealed 2.02%
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the linkage joint, speeding wear and possibly needing a future repair.
Obligatory rear fog lamp missing 1.68%
A rear fog lamp the car must have is missing, so it is illegal to drive until one is fitted.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.66%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Position lamp not working 1.31%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Rear fog lamp switch missing 1.27%
Without a working fog lamp switch, the fog lamps cannot be used properly, so the switch needs fitting or repair.
Rear fog lamp not working 1.21%
A failed rear fog lamp reduces visibility in fog and leaves you less visible to following traffic, so repair it.
Common advisories
Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (7.46%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (7.31%) · Brake pads wearing thin (5.09%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (4.9%) · Swivel pin or bush slightly worn (4.74%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (2.12%)
