Suspension arm pin/bush excessively worn 5.57%
Worn suspension arm bushes allow the wheel to move unpredictably, affecting steering, handling and tyre wear.
Track rod end ball joint excessively worn 5.21%
Worn steering ball joints can affect steering control and safety, so repair is needed before the car is driven.
Stop lamp not working 4.04%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.

A lit ABS warning means the anti-lock system may not work, so wheels could lock during emergency braking.
