Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Suspension arm pin/bush excessively worn 3.56%
Worn suspension arm bushes allow the wheel to move unpredictably, affecting steering, handling and tyre wear.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 3.24%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Coil spring fractured or broken 2.98%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 2.94%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 1.37%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 1.34%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (17.44%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (11.75%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (10.79%) · Brake pads wearing thin (6.74%) · Suspension arm showing corrosion (5.82%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (4%)
