Top failures
Suspension mounting area seriously corroded 6.96%
Corrosion near suspension mountings can seriously weaken the body structure, so an expert inspection is needed.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 3.74%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Stop lamp not working 3.67%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 3.57%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
Position lamp not working 3.57%
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 3.11%
Badly corroded brake pipes can leak or fail, which can cause a loss of braking, so repair is urgent.
