Top failures
Position lamp not working 8.59%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Suspension arm pin/bush excessively worn 8.25%
Worn suspension arm bushes allow the wheel to move unpredictably, affecting steering, handling and tyre wear.
Track rod end ball joint excessively worn 8.1%
Worn steering ball joints can affect steering control and safety, so repair is needed before the car is driven.
Stop lamp not working 5.46%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 4.4%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 4.19%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
