Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 6.99%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 3.6%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Dipped beam headlamp not working 3.09%
A failed dipped beam makes it hard to see and be seen at night, so the lamp needs fixing before driving.
Registration plate lamp not working 2.19%
A dark number plate lamp makes the plate hard to read at night, which is illegal and must be fixed.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.1%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Windscreen washer fluid insufficient 2.05%
Washers are not supplying enough liquid, so the windscreen cannot be cleared properly, which is a safety issue.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (14.8%) · Brake pads wearing thin (9.22%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (7.27%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (2.62%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (2.39%) · Brake discs showing some wear (2.11%)
