Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Coil spring fractured or broken 6.56%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Position lamp not working 6.06%
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 2.69%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Parking brake efficiency below minimum 2.13%
The parking brake holds the car less well than required, so it may roll on a slope and needs repair.
Rigid brake pipe excessively corroded 1.94%
Badly corroded brake pipes can leak or fail, which can cause a loss of braking, so repair is urgent.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 1.71%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (10.02%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (8.81%) · Brake pads wearing thin (5.6%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (2.37%) · Number plate lettering deteriorating (2.22%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (2.14%)
