Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Position lamp not working 6.82%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Headlamp beam pattern obviously incorrect 6.09%
A wrongly shaped beam can dazzle other drivers and reduce your own view of the road, so the lamps need correcting.
Suspension mounting area seriously corroded 5.59%
Corrosion near suspension mountings can seriously weaken the body structure, so an expert inspection is needed.
Service brake excessively binding 4.46%
A brake that drags when released can overheat, wear quickly and waste fuel, so it needs prompt inspection.
Stop lamp not working 3.82%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 3.17%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (14.38%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (14.27%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (10.89%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (10.62%) · Anti-roll bar linkage pin/bush worn (9.31%) · Coil spring showing some corrosion (7.89%)
