Top failures
Track rod end ball joint excessively worn 12.78%
Worn steering ball joints can affect steering control and safety, so repair is needed before the car is driven.
Position lamp not working 6.31%
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 4.1%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Registration plate lamp not working 4.07%
A dark number plate lamp makes the plate hard to read at night, which is illegal and must be fixed.
CV joint boot split or insecure 3.9%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Anti-roll bar linkage ball joint worn 3.59%
A worn linkage ball joint can rattle, affect handling and eventually fail, so it should be replaced.
Common advisories
Tyre worn close to legal limit (14.27%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (11.98%) · Brake pads wearing thin (8.96%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (7.13%) · Track rod ball joint slight play (7.02%) · Shock absorber light oil misting (4.94%)
