Top failures
Position lamp not working 8.34%
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 6.5%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
Registration plate lamp not working 4.26%
A dark number plate lamp makes the plate hard to read at night, which is illegal and must be fixed.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 3.62%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Dipped beam headlamp not working 3.41%
A failed dipped beam makes it hard to see and be seen at night, so the lamp needs fixing before driving.
Stop lamp not working 3.37%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
