A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Stop lamp not working 5.82%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.

A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
Dipped beam headlamp not working 4.01%
A failed dipped beam makes it hard to see and be seen at night, so the lamp needs fixing before driving.
