Top failures
Coil spring fractured or broken 13.37%
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 7.16%
Worn steering ball joints can affect steering control and safety, so repair is needed before the car is driven.
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 2.94%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
Parking brake efficiency below minimum 2.88%
The parking brake holds the car less well than required, so it may roll on a slope and needs repair.
Position lamp not working 2.47%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Parking brake inoperative on one side 2.22%
The parking brake does not work on one side, so the car may not hold on a slope and needs repair.
