Top failures
Track rod end ball joint excessively worn 9.19%
Worn steering ball joints can affect steering control and safety, so repair is needed before the car is driven.
Position lamp not working 6.07%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Anti-roll bar linkage ball joint worn 3.34%
A worn linkage ball joint can rattle, affect handling and eventually fail, so it should be replaced.
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 2.93%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
Anti-roll bar linkage dust cover unsealed 2.7%
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the linkage joint, speeding wear and possibly needing a future repair.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 2.59%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
