Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Anti-roll bar linkage dust cover unsealed 2.23%
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the linkage joint, speeding wear and possibly needing a future repair.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 1.51%
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 1.42%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Rear fog lamp not working 1.34%
A failed rear fog lamp reduces visibility in fog and leaves you less visible to following traffic, so repair it.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.25%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.07%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (4.9%) · Brake pads wearing thin (4.19%) · Swivel pin or bush slightly worn (3.56%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (2.94%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (2.23%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (1.78%)
