Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Coil spring fractured or broken 4.67%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.75%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 1.19%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Rear fog lamp not working 0.99%
A failed rear fog lamp reduces visibility in fog and leaves you less visible to following traffic, so repair it.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 0.91%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Tyre pressure monitoring system faulty 0.64%
A faulty tyre pressure monitor cannot warn about low tyre pressure, so check tyres manually and have the fault diagnosed.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (12.39%) · Brake pads wearing thin (8.31%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (3.82%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (2.53%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (2.33%) · Brake discs showing some wear (2.2%)
