Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Position lamp not working 7.07%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Stop lamp not working 4.77%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Headlamp beam pattern obviously incorrect 4.29%
A wrongly shaped beam can dazzle other drivers and reduce your own view of the road, so the lamps need correcting.
Registration plate lamp not working 4.09%
A dark number plate lamp makes the plate hard to read at night, which is illegal and must be fixed.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 4.09%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Coil spring fractured or broken 3.64%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Common advisories
Brake pipes corroded and greasy (16.84%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (13.28%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (11.39%) · Coil spring showing some corrosion (10.4%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (9.71%) · Headlamp lens has a coating (6.75%)
