Top failures
Position lamp not working 7.75%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Suspension mounting area seriously corroded 4.85%
Corrosion near suspension mountings can seriously weaken the body structure, so an expert inspection is needed.
Anti-roll bar linkage ball joint worn 3.87%
A worn linkage ball joint can rattle, affect handling and eventually fail, so it should be replaced.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 3.53%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 3.25%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Stop lamp not working 2.88%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
