Top failures
Position lamp not working 10.71%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 9.22%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
Anti-roll bar linkage ball joint worn 5.61%
A worn linkage ball joint can rattle, affect handling and eventually fail, so it should be replaced.
Suspension arm pin/bush excessively worn 5.39%
Worn suspension arm bushes allow the wheel to move unpredictably, affecting steering, handling and tyre wear.
Tyre tread below 1.6mm 3.98%
Tread below 1.6mm is illegal and reduces grip in wet conditions, so the tyre must be replaced.
Registration plate lamp not working 3.93%
A dark number plate lamp makes the plate hard to read at night, which is illegal and must be fixed.
