Top failures
CV joint boot split or insecure 11.06%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Position lamp not working 8.25%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Stop lamp not working 7.02%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Windscreen washer fluid insufficient 3.84%
Washers are not supplying enough liquid, so the windscreen cannot be cleared properly, which is a safety issue.
Dipped beam headlamp not working 3.73%
A failed dipped beam makes it hard to see and be seen at night, so the lamp needs fixing before driving.
Registration plate lamp not working 3.71%
A dark number plate lamp makes the plate hard to read at night, which is illegal and must be fixed.
