Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Coil spring fractured or broken 4.47%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 3.08%
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 2.21%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Anti-roll bar linkage dust cover unsealed 1.9%
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the linkage joint, speeding wear and possibly needing a future repair.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.64%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Suspension arm pin/bush excessively worn 1.49%
Worn suspension arm bushes allow the wheel to move unpredictably, affecting steering, handling and tyre wear.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (18.87%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (10.19%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (9.77%) · Brake pads wearing thin (7.46%) · Tyre slightly damaged or cracking (5.61%) · Shock absorber light oil misting (4.09%)
