Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Position lamp not working 2.44%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Anti-roll bar linkage dust cover unsealed 1.86%
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the linkage joint, speeding wear and possibly needing a future repair.
Rear fog lamp not working 1.56%
A failed rear fog lamp reduces visibility in fog and leaves you less visible to following traffic, so repair it.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.47%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 1.46%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Registration plate lamp not working 1.22%
A dark number plate lamp makes the plate hard to read at night, which is illegal and must be fixed.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (6.65%) · Brake pads wearing thin (6.19%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (3.74%) · Swivel pin or bush slightly worn (2.93%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (2.86%) · Slight play in steering rack joints (2.86%)
