Top failures

Track rod end ball joint excessively worn 6.94%
Worn steering ball joints can affect steering control and safety, so repair is needed before the car is driven.
Stop lamp not working 3.89%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 3.48%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
Dipped beam headlamp not working 3%
A failed dipped beam makes it hard to see and be seen at night, so the lamp needs fixing before driving.
