Top failures
Rear fog lamp not working 7.99%
A failed rear fog lamp reduces visibility in fog and leaves you less visible to following traffic, so repair it.

A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
Track rod end ball joint excessively worn 5.31%
Worn steering ball joints can affect steering control and safety, so repair is needed before the car is driven.
Exhaust has major gas leak 4.74%
A major exhaust leak can let poisonous gas into the car and is illegal, so it must be repaired before driving.
Stop lamp not working 4.08%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 3.99%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
