Top failures
Position lamp not working 7.66%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Parking brake efficiency below minimum 5.52%
The parking brake holds the car less well than required, so it may roll on a slope and needs repair.
Parking brake inoperative on one side 5.11%
The parking brake does not work on one side, so the car may not hold on a slope and needs repair.
Stop lamp not working 4.46%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Headlamp beam pattern obviously incorrect 4.31%
A wrongly shaped beam can dazzle other drivers and reduce your own view of the road, so the lamps need correcting.
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 4.25%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
