Top failures
Coil spring fractured or broken 4.97%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Anti-roll bar linkage dust cover unsealed 3.31%
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the linkage joint, speeding wear and possibly needing a future repair.
CV joint boot split or insecure 2.71%
A split CV boot lets dirt in and grease out, so the joint wears and may need full replacement.
Position lamp not working 2.15%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Side repeater not working 2.04%
A failed side repeater means other road users cannot see your intended direction change, which is dangerous and must be fixed.
Diesel engine warning light faulty 1.88%
A lit or non-working engine warning light can hide faults, so diagnosis is needed before buying.
