Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Position lamp not working 2.89%
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 2.1%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.97%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.93%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Registration plate lamp not working 1.51%
A dark number plate lamp makes the plate hard to read at night, which is illegal and must be fixed.
Windscreen washer fluid insufficient 1.29%
Washers are not supplying enough liquid, so the windscreen cannot be cleared properly, which is a safety issue.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (15.74%) · Brake pads wearing thin (8.94%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (8.33%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (7.35%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (4.94%) · Brake discs showing some wear (3.97%)
