Top failures
CV joint boot split or insecure 8.87%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Position lamp not working 6.81%
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 6.09%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Stop lamp not working 5.36%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Dipped beam headlamp not working 4.88%
A failed dipped beam makes it hard to see and be seen at night, so the lamp needs fixing before driving.
Track rod end ball joint excessively worn 4.19%
Worn steering ball joints can affect steering control and safety, so repair is needed before the car is driven.
