Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 3.06%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 1.99%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 1.35%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 1.26%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
CV joint boot split or insecure 1.05%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 0.68%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
