Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Obligatory rear fog lamp missing 2.08%
A rear fog lamp the car must have is missing, so it is illegal to drive until one is fitted.
Anti-roll bar linkage dust cover unsealed 2%
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the linkage joint, speeding wear and possibly needing a future repair.
Dipped beam headlamp not working 1.48%
A failed dipped beam makes it hard to see and be seen at night, so the lamp needs fixing before driving.
Position lamp not working 1.48%
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 1.48%
Without a working fog lamp switch, the fog lamps cannot be used properly, so the switch needs fitting or repair.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.04%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (6.82%) · Brake pads wearing thin (4.82%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (3.85%) · Swivel pin or bush slightly worn (2.97%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (2.15%) · Shock absorber light oil misting (1.78%)
