Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.14%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Suspension arm pin/bush excessively worn 1.1%
Worn suspension arm bushes allow the wheel to move unpredictably, affecting steering, handling and tyre wear.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 0.97%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Windscreen washer fluid insufficient 0.96%
Washers are not supplying enough liquid, so the windscreen cannot be cleared properly, which is a safety issue.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 0.91%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Position lamp not working 0.82%
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 (9.89%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (5.26%) · Brake pads wearing thin (4.55%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (4.09%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (2.84%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (1.92%)
