Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Stop lamp not working 3.6%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Suspension arm pin/bush excessively worn 3.47%
Worn suspension arm bushes allow the wheel to move unpredictably, affecting steering, handling and tyre wear.
Windscreen washer fluid insufficient 3.2%
Washers are not supplying enough liquid, so the windscreen cannot be cleared properly, which is a safety issue.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 3.16%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Anti-roll bar linkage dust cover unsealed 3.06%
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the linkage joint, speeding wear and possibly needing a future repair.
Coil spring fractured or broken 2.86%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (18.39%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (11.66%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (10.51%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (7.61%) · Anti-roll bar pin/bush showing wear (7.18%) · Brake pads wearing thin (7%)
