Top failures
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 6.36%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
Tyre cut reaching ply or cords 2.55%
A cut reaching the ply or cords weakens the tyre and can cause a burst, so it must be replaced.
Tyre ply or cords exposed 2.27%
Exposed ply or cords can let the tyre fail suddenly, so the tyre must be replaced before the car is driven.
Dipped beam headlamp not working 1.6%
A failed dipped beam makes it hard to see and be seen at night, so the lamp needs fixing before driving.
Stop lamp not working 1.32%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Anti-roll bar linkage ball joint worn 1.28%
A worn linkage ball joint can rattle, affect handling and eventually fail, so it should be replaced.
