Top failures
Position lamp not working 5.64%
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 5.57%
The parking brake holds the car less well than required, so it may roll on a slope and needs repair.
Parking brake efficiency under half required 4.4%
The parking brake is well below required strength and is unlikely to hold the car on a slope.
Suspension arm pin/bush excessively worn 4.26%
Worn suspension arm bushes allow the wheel to move unpredictably, affecting steering, handling and tyre wear.
Track rod end ball joint excessively worn 3.99%
Worn steering ball joints can affect steering control and safety, so repair is needed before the car is driven.
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 3.71%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
