Top failures
CV joint boot split or insecure 9.65%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Stop lamp not working 6.45%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Position lamp not working 5.49%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 5.35%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Exhaust has major gas leak 4.86%
A major exhaust leak can let poisonous gas into the car and is illegal, so it must be repaired before driving.
Anti-roll bar linkage dust cover unsealed 4.39%
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the linkage joint, speeding wear and possibly needing a future repair.
