Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
CV joint boot split or insecure 5.55%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Windscreen washer fluid insufficient 3.93%
Washers are not supplying enough liquid, so the windscreen cannot be cleared properly, which is a safety issue.
Coil spring fractured or broken 3.79%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Stop lamp not working 3.67%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Exhaust has major gas leak 3.27%
A major exhaust leak can let poisonous gas into the car and is illegal, so it must be repaired before driving.
Anti-roll bar linkage dust cover unsealed 2.97%
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the linkage joint, speeding wear and possibly needing a future repair.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (17.63%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (14.23%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (12.45%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (10.47%) · Anti-roll bar pin/bush showing wear (6.83%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (6.77%)
