Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Suspension arm pin/bush excessively worn 2.39%
Worn suspension arm bushes allow the wheel to move unpredictably, affecting steering, handling and tyre wear.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 2.39%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.82%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Dipped beam headlamp not working 1.72%
A failed dipped beam makes it hard to see and be seen at night, so the lamp needs fixing before driving.
Tyre pressure monitoring system faulty 1.55%
A faulty tyre pressure monitor cannot warn about low tyre pressure, so check tyres manually and have the fault diagnosed.
Stop lamp not working 1.46%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (13.22%) · Brake pads wearing thin (9.62%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (8.54%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (7.26%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (6.61%) · Brake discs showing some wear (2.65%)
