Top failures
Coil spring fractured or broken 10.33%
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 6.55%
Worn steering ball joints can affect steering control and safety, so repair is needed before the car is driven.
Horn not working 4.93%
A non-working horn removes a key warning tool for other road users, so it must be repaired before driving.
Position lamp not working 3.9%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Rigid brake pipe excessively corroded 3.75%
Badly corroded brake pipes can leak or fail, which can cause a loss of braking, so repair is urgent.
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 3.58%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
