Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Exhaust has major gas leak 2.41%
A major exhaust leak can let poisonous gas into the car and is illegal, so it must be repaired before driving.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 1.58%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Position lamp not working 1.58%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Windscreen washer fluid insufficient 1.28%
Washers are not supplying enough liquid, so the windscreen cannot be cleared properly, which is a safety issue.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.28%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Rigid brake pipe excessively corroded 1.21%
Badly corroded brake pipes can leak or fail, which can cause a loss of braking, so repair is urgent.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (7.84%) · Brake pads wearing thin (7.54%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (6.56%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (3.77%) · Exhaust has minor gas leak (3.54%) · Anti-roll bar pin/bush showing wear (3.02%)
