Top failures
Position lamp not working 5.5%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Rear fog lamp not working 5.2%
A failed rear fog lamp reduces visibility in fog and leaves you less visible to following traffic, so repair it.
Exhaust has major gas leak 4.29%
A major exhaust leak can let poisonous gas into the car and is illegal, so it must be repaired before driving.
Shock absorber bush excessively worn 4.06%
Worn shock absorber bushes cause knocking and poor ride control, and they tend to worsen, so they need replacing.
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 3.58%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 3.14%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
