Top failures
Coil spring fractured or broken 11.76%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Track rod end ball joint excessively worn 9.5%
Worn steering ball joints can affect steering control and safety, so repair is needed before the car is driven.
Stop lamp not working 9.47%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Position lamp not working 4.89%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Anti-roll bar linkage ball joint worn 4.52%
A worn linkage ball joint can rattle, affect handling and eventually fail, so it should be replaced.
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 4.51%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
