Top failures
Ball joint dust cover no longer sealed 1.93%
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the joint, speeding wear, so the joint may need replacing later.
Anti-roll bar linkage dust cover unsealed 1.81%
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the linkage joint, speeding wear and possibly needing a future repair.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.09%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Windscreen washers not working 1.01%
Without working washers the windscreen cannot be cleaned while driving, which is a safety risk in dirty weather.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 0.97%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Anti-roll bar dust cover unsealed 0.89%
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the joint, causing wear that may later need the joint replaced.
