Top failures
Suspension arm pin/bush excessively worn 7.97%
Worn suspension arm bushes allow the wheel to move unpredictably, affecting steering, handling and tyre wear.
Position lamp not working 7.55%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Track rod end ball joint excessively worn 7.35%
Worn steering ball joints can affect steering control and safety, so repair is needed before the car is driven.
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 4.65%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
Service brake excessively binding 4.45%
A brake that drags when released can overheat, wear quickly and waste fuel, so it needs prompt inspection.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 3.69%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
