Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Coil spring fractured or broken 6.25%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Stop lamp not working 3.64%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Position lamp not working 2.79%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Airbag warning lamp shows fault 2.63%
A lit airbag warning means the airbag system may not deploy in a crash, so it needs diagnosing and repairing.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.16%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Suspension arm pin/bush excessively worn 1.62%
Worn suspension arm bushes allow the wheel to move unpredictably, affecting steering, handling and tyre wear.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (15.99%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (12.97%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (7.71%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (6.52%) · Brake pads wearing thin (6.23%) · Flexible brake hose slightly deteriorated (4.85%)
