Top failures
Anti-roll bar linkage dust cover unsealed 1.54%
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the linkage joint, speeding wear and possibly needing a future repair.
Ball joint dust cover no longer sealed 1.44%
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the joint, speeding wear, so the joint may need replacing later.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 1.16%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 1.07%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 0.89%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Windscreen washers not working 0.84%
Without working washers the windscreen cannot be cleaned while driving, which is a safety risk in dirty weather.
