Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Position lamp not working 9.11%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 2.97%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Registration plate lamp not working 2.61%
A dark number plate lamp makes the plate hard to read at night, which is illegal and must be fixed.
Anti-roll bar linkage dust cover unsealed 2.4%
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the linkage joint, speeding wear and possibly needing a future repair.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.99%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 1.99%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Common advisories
Brake pipes corroded and greasy (14.58%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (14.11%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (12.5%) · Brake pads wearing thin (10.34%) · Coil spring showing some corrosion (8.92%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (8.18%)
