Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Obligatory rear fog lamp missing 0.8%
A rear fog lamp the car must have is missing, so it is illegal to drive until one is fitted.
Shock absorber serious fluid leak 0.8%
A shock absorber leaking heavily has likely lost its damping, so the car will handle and brake less safely.
Registration plate lamp not working 0.6%
A dark number plate lamp makes the plate hard to read at night, which is illegal and must be fixed.
Position lamp not working 0.6%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Anti-roll bar linkage dust cover unsealed 0.4%
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the linkage joint, speeding wear and possibly needing a future repair.
CV joint boot split or insecure 0.33%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (2.07%) · Shock absorber light oil misting (2%) · Brake pads wearing thin (1.53%) · Swivel pin or bush slightly worn (1%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (0.8%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (0.73%)
