Top failures
Position lamp not working 7.61%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Stop lamp not working 7.57%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Coil spring fractured or broken 5.9%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 5.51%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
CV joint boot split or insecure 5.32%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Exhaust has major gas leak 4.83%
A major exhaust leak can let poisonous gas into the car and is illegal, so it must be repaired before driving.
