Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Position lamp not working 3.44%
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 2.58%
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 2.03%
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the linkage joint, speeding wear and possibly needing a future repair.
Registration plate lamp not working 1.81%
A dark number plate lamp makes the plate hard to read at night, which is illegal and must be fixed.
Headlamp beam pattern obviously incorrect 1.75%
A wrongly shaped beam can dazzle other drivers and reduce your own view of the road, so the lamps need correcting.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.57%
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 (9.06%) · Brake pads wearing thin (6.14%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (5.62%) · Swivel pin or bush slightly worn (5.43%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (5.13%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (3.44%)
