Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
CV joint boot split or insecure 5.37%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 2.06%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Exhaust system insecurely mounted 1.49%
A loose exhaust can drop or hit the road, causing damage and noise, so it must be secured.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.39%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Brake discs significantly worn 1.09%
Heavily worn discs reduce braking performance and wear pads faster, so a replacement will soon be needed.
Windscreen washer fluid insufficient 0.98%
Washers are not supplying enough liquid, so the windscreen cannot be cleared properly, which is a safety issue.
Common advisories
Brake disc pitted or scored (16.24%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (12.96%) · Tyre worn close to legal limit (12.44%) · Brake pads wearing thin (7.15%) · Exhaust mounting defective (5.94%) · Brake discs showing some wear (4.6%)
