Top failures
Position lamp not working 6.84%

Worn steering ball joints can affect steering control and safety, so repair is needed before the car is driven.
CV joint boot split or insecure 4.62%

Suspension mounting area seriously corroded 3.63%
Corrosion near suspension mountings can seriously weaken the body structure, so an expert inspection is needed.
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 3.52%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
Exhaust has major gas leak 3.37%
A major exhaust leak can let poisonous gas into the car and is illegal, so it must be repaired before driving.
