Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Position lamp not working 2.61%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 2.53%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 2.31%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Anti-roll bar linkage dust cover unsealed 2.24%
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the linkage joint, speeding wear and possibly needing a future repair.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 2.09%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Headlamp beam pattern obviously incorrect 2.09%
A wrongly shaped beam can dazzle other drivers and reduce your own view of the road, so the lamps need correcting.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (16.24%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (13.49%) · Brake pads wearing thin (8.57%) · Swivel pin or bush slightly worn (6.78%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (6.56%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (5.37%)
