Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.33%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.37%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Tyre pressure monitoring system faulty 1.03%
A faulty tyre pressure monitor cannot warn about low tyre pressure, so check tyres manually and have the fault diagnosed.
Registration plate lamp not working 0.81%
A dark number plate lamp makes the plate hard to read at night, which is illegal and must be fixed.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 0.78%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Lambda reading outside specified limits 0.55%
An out-of-range lambda reading suggests poor fuel mixture or a failing catalytic converter, so diagnosis is needed.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (9.75%) · Brake pads wearing thin (5.09%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (4.8%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (4.58%) · Service brake slightly binding (2.18%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (1.66%)
