Top failures
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 5.71%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 3.6%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Stop lamp not working 2.89%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Anti-roll bar linkage ball joint worn 2.47%
A worn linkage ball joint can rattle, affect handling and eventually fail, so it should be replaced.
Position lamp not working 2.37%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Rigid brake pipe excessively corroded 2.24%
Badly corroded brake pipes can leak or fail, which can cause a loss of braking, so repair is urgent.
