Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.14%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Reversing lamp not working 0.79%
A failed reversing lamp makes manoeuvring in the dark harder and is a fault that needs fixing.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 0.64%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 0.5%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Headlamp aim set too low 0.31%
Headlamps aimed too low light the road poorly and reduce the driver's view ahead, especially at night.
Tyre pressure monitoring system faulty 0.27%
A faulty tyre pressure monitor cannot warn about low tyre pressure, so check tyres manually and have the fault diagnosed.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (5.36%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (2.09%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (1.56%) · Nail in tyre, monitor (1.08%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (0.85%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (0.63%)
