Top failures
Track rod end ball joint excessively worn 14.35%
Worn steering ball joints can affect steering control and safety, so repair is needed before the car is driven.
Position lamp not working 10.36%
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 9.52%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
CV joint boot split or insecure 8.66%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Stop lamp not working 5.17%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Airbag warning lamp shows fault 4.92%
A lit airbag warning means the airbag system may not deploy in a crash, so it needs diagnosing and repairing.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (17.68%) · Brake pads wearing thin (12.54%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (12.36%) · Suspension arm pin/bush showing wear (10.77%) · Engine oil leak, not excessive (10.15%) · Track rod ball joint slight play (9.69%)
