Average for cars of the same age and mileage
Top failures
Ball joint dust cover no longer sealed 7.42%
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the joint, speeding wear, so the joint may need replacing later.
Parking brake efficiency below minimum 7.34%
The parking brake holds the car less well than required, so it may roll on a slope and needs repair.
Parking brake inoperative on one side 7.18%
The parking brake does not work on one side, so the car may not hold on a slope and needs repair.
Rear fog lamp not working 7.1%
A failed rear fog lamp reduces visibility in fog and leaves you less visible to following traffic, so repair it.
Coil spring fractured or broken 6.79%
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 6.39%
Worn steering ball joints can affect steering control and safety, so repair is needed before the car is driven.
