Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Position lamp not working 4.22%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 3.49%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Stop lamp not working 3%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Rigid brake pipe excessively corroded 2.27%
Badly corroded brake pipes can leak or fail, which can cause a loss of braking, so repair is urgent.
Anti-roll bar linkage pin/bush excessively worn 2.11%
Worn linkage pins or bushes cause knocking and poor handling, and can get worse, so they need replacing.
Registration plate lamp not working 2%
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 (12.04%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (11.81%) · Anti-roll bar linkage pin/bush worn (7.38%) · Wheel bearing slight play (5.82%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (4.49%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (4.05%)
