Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Suspension arm pin/bush excessively worn 3.47%
Worn suspension arm bushes allow the wheel to move unpredictably, affecting steering, handling and tyre wear.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 2.6%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.52%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Coil spring fractured or broken 1.66%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 1.32%
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 1.19%
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 (16.74%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (11.63%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (10.99%) · Brake pads wearing thin (5.97%) · Suspension arm showing corrosion (5.08%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (4.3%)
