Top failures
Position lamp not working 7.01%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Dipped beam headlamp not working 4.93%
A failed dipped beam makes it hard to see and be seen at night, so the lamp needs fixing before driving.
CV joint boot split or insecure 4.33%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Track rod end ball joint excessively worn 4.03%
Worn steering ball joints can affect steering control and safety, so repair is needed before the car is driven.
Headlamp beam pattern obviously incorrect 3.13%
A wrongly shaped beam can dazzle other drivers and reduce your own view of the road, so the lamps need correcting.
Anti-roll bar linkage dust cover unsealed 2.61%
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the linkage joint, speeding wear and possibly needing a future repair.
