Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Suspension arm pin/bush excessively worn 3.25%
Worn suspension arm bushes allow the wheel to move unpredictably, affecting steering, handling and tyre wear.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.86%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 2.35%
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 2.22%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 1.95%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Position lamp not working 1.72%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (16.5%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (11.71%) · Brake pads wearing thin (7.47%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (5.67%) · Anti-roll bar pin/bush showing wear (4.56%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (4.55%)
