Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Position lamp not working 1.8%
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 1.47%
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 1.28%
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the linkage joint, speeding wear and possibly needing a future repair.
Shock absorber serious fluid leak 0.93%
A shock absorber leaking heavily has likely lost its damping, so the car will handle and brake less safely.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 0.89%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 0.84%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (6.02%) · Brake pads wearing thin (3.77%) · Swivel pin or bush slightly worn (3.06%) · Shock absorber light oil misting (2.61%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (1.87%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (1.68%)
