Top failures
Coil spring fractured or broken 9.44%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Position lamp not working 8.02%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Track rod end ball joint excessively worn 6.15%
Worn steering ball joints can affect steering control and safety, so repair is needed before the car is driven.
Headlamp beam pattern obviously incorrect 5.45%
A wrongly shaped beam can dazzle other drivers and reduce your own view of the road, so the lamps need correcting.
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 4.81%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
Dipped beam headlamp not working 4.24%
A failed dipped beam makes it hard to see and be seen at night, so the lamp needs fixing before driving.
