Top failures
Track rod end ball joint excessively worn 6.05%
Worn steering ball joints can affect steering control and safety, so repair is needed before the car is driven.
Position lamp not working 4.97%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Coil spring fractured or broken 3.58%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Airbag warning lamp shows fault 3.54%
A lit airbag warning means the airbag system may not deploy in a crash, so it needs diagnosing and repairing.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 3.31%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
Rear fog lamp not working 2.96%
A failed rear fog lamp reduces visibility in fog and leaves you less visible to following traffic, so repair it.

Tyre worn close to legal limit (15.9%) · Brake pads wearing thin (12%) · Brake pipes corroded and greasy (5.11%) · Track rod ball joint slight play (4.84%) · Brake disc pitted or scored (4.61%) · Child seat limits belt inspection (4.48%)
