Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Position lamp not working 1.99%
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 1.97%
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 1.87%
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the linkage joint, speeding wear and possibly needing a future repair.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.41%
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 0.97%
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 0.95%
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 (6.08%) · Brake pads wearing thin (5.97%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (3.35%) · Swivel pin or bush slightly worn (3.31%) · Shock absorber light oil misting (2.36%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (2.27%)
