Top failures
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 11.32%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
Stop lamp not working 3.28%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Coil spring fractured or broken 3.18%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 2.75%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Dipped beam headlamp not working 2.65%
A failed dipped beam makes it hard to see and be seen at night, so the lamp needs fixing before driving.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 2.51%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
