Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 3.53%
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 2.9%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.18%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 1.28%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Engine warning light inoperative or lit 1.06%
An engine warning light that is lit or not working can hide faults, so diagnosis is needed before buying.
Diesel engine warning light faulty 0.91%
A lit or non-working engine warning light can hide faults, so diagnosis is needed before buying.
Common advisories
