Top failures
Track rod end ball joint excessively worn 9.96%
Worn steering ball joints can affect steering control and safety, so repair is needed before the car is driven.
Position lamp not working 7.99%
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 7.83%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
Stop lamp not working 6.38%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Parking brake efficiency below minimum 5.96%
The parking brake holds the car less well than required, so it may roll on a slope and needs repair.
Registration plate lamp not working 5.43%
A dark number plate lamp makes the plate hard to read at night, which is illegal and must be fixed.
