Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Position lamp not working 3.45%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 2.65%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.38%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.87%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Registration plate lamp not working 1.73%
A dark number plate lamp makes the plate hard to read at night, which is illegal and must be fixed.
Side repeater not working 1.33%
A failed side repeater means other road users cannot see your intended direction change, which is dangerous and must be fixed.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (17.14%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (9.18%) · Brake pads wearing thin (9.01%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (8.3%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (4.96%) · Brake discs showing some wear (3.8%)
