Top failures
Track rod end ball joint excessively worn 8.9%
Worn steering ball joints can affect steering control and safety, so repair is needed before the car is driven.

A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 6.92%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
Anti-roll bar linkage ball joint worn 3.8%
A worn linkage ball joint can rattle, affect handling and eventually fail, so it should be replaced.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 2.97%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Rigid brake pipe excessively corroded 2.92%
Badly corroded brake pipes can leak or fail, which can cause a loss of braking, so repair is urgent.
