Top failures
Track rod end ball joint excessively worn 5.92%
Worn steering ball joints can affect steering control and safety, so repair is needed before the car is driven.
Parking brake inoperative on one side 5.92%
The parking brake does not work on one side, so the car may not hold on a slope and needs repair.
Ball joint dust cover no longer sealed 5.85%
A damaged dust cover lets dirt into the joint, speeding wear, so the joint may need replacing later.
Coil spring fractured or broken 5.55%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Parking brake efficiency below minimum 4.37%
The parking brake holds the car less well than required, so it may roll on a slope and needs repair.
Rear fog lamp not working 4.29%
A failed rear fog lamp reduces visibility in fog and leaves you less visible to following traffic, so repair it.
