Top failures
Steering rack gaiter no longer sealed 4.39%
A damaged gaiter lets dirt into the steering rack, causing wear and possibly costly repairs later.

A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Track rod end ball joint excessively worn 4.27%
Worn steering ball joints can affect steering control and safety, so repair is needed before the car is driven.
Suspension mounting area seriously corroded 4.19%
Corrosion near suspension mountings can seriously weaken the body structure, so an expert inspection is needed.
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 3.32%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
Exhaust has major gas leak 3.15%
A major exhaust leak can let poisonous gas into the car and is illegal, so it must be repaired before driving.
