Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.57%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 1.84%
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 1.46%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Coil spring fractured or broken 1.45%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Diesel engine warning light faulty 1.27%
A lit or non-working engine warning light can hide faults, so diagnosis is needed before buying.
Headlamp aim set too low 1.18%
Headlamps aimed too low light the road poorly and reduce the driver's view ahead, especially at night.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (13.59%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (9.49%) · Brake pads wearing thin (7.25%) · Shock absorber light oil misting (6.08%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (6.05%) · Suspension arm showing corrosion (4.12%)
