Top failures
Coil spring fractured or broken 7.03%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
CV joint boot split or insecure 5.29%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Track rod end ball joint excessively worn 4.7%
Worn steering ball joints can affect steering control and safety, so repair is needed before the car is driven.
Stop lamp not working 4.43%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Exhaust has major gas leak 4.35%
A major exhaust leak can let poisonous gas into the car and is illegal, so it must be repaired before driving.
Parking brake efficiency below minimum 3.87%
The parking brake holds the car less well than required, so it may roll on a slope and needs repair.
