Top failures
CV joint boot split or insecure 10.2%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Position lamp not working 8.31%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Coil spring fractured or broken 7.4%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Stop lamp not working 5.49%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Dipped beam headlamp not working 4.68%
A failed dipped beam makes it hard to see and be seen at night, so the lamp needs fixing before driving.
Headlamp beam pattern obviously incorrect 4.31%
A wrongly shaped beam can dazzle other drivers and reduce your own view of the road, so the lamps need correcting.
