Top failures
Suspension arm pin/bush excessively worn 6.18%
Worn suspension arm bushes allow the wheel to move unpredictably, affecting steering, handling and tyre wear.
Parking brake efficiency below minimum 5.39%
The parking brake holds the car less well than required, so it may roll on a slope and needs repair.
Track rod end ball joint excessively worn 4.21%
Worn steering ball joints can affect steering control and safety, so repair is needed before the car is driven.
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 4.03%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
Seat belt anchor area weakened 3.02%
Corrosion near a seat belt anchor can weaken the body and make the belt fail, so expert repair is needed.
Coil spring fractured or broken 2.8%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
