Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Position lamp not working 3.65%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Rear fog lamp not working 2.96%
A failed rear fog lamp reduces visibility in fog and leaves you less visible to following traffic, so repair it.
Anti-roll bar linkage dust cover unsealed 2.72%
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the linkage joint, speeding wear and possibly needing a future repair.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 2.26%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Dipped beam headlamp not working 2.09%
A failed dipped beam makes it hard to see and be seen at night, so the lamp needs fixing before driving.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 2.03%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (9.27%) · Brake pads wearing thin (7.54%) · Swivel pin or bush slightly worn (5.38%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (5.25%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (4.78%) · Headlamp lens has a coating (4.58%)
