Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.71%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.53%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Tyre pressure monitoring system faulty 1.09%
A faulty tyre pressure monitor cannot warn about low tyre pressure, so check tyres manually and have the fault diagnosed.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 0.74%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Windscreen washer fluid insufficient 0.74%
Washers are not supplying enough liquid, so the windscreen cannot be cleared properly, which is a safety issue.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 0.7%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (9.15%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (6.87%) · Brake pads wearing thin (5.3%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (4.47%) · Brake discs showing some wear (2.01%) · Service brake slightly binding (1.58%)
