Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Position lamp not working 4.28%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Stop lamp not working 3.68%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Suspension mounting area seriously corroded 3.28%
Corrosion near suspension mountings can seriously weaken the body structure, so an expert inspection is needed.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 2.8%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Parking brake efficiency below minimum 2.52%
The parking brake holds the car less well than required, so it may roll on a slope and needs repair.
Parking brake inoperative on one side 2.28%
The parking brake does not work on one side, so the car may not hold on a slope and needs repair.
Common advisories
Brake pipes corroded and greasy (12.4%) · Coil spring showing some corrosion (9.44%) · Chassis corroded but still rigid (6.56%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (6.52%) · Wheel bearing slight play (6.28%) · Brake pads wearing thin (6.2%)
