Top failures
Coil spring fractured or broken 9.47%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 5.47%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 3.95%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Service brake excessively binding 3.85%
A brake that drags when released can overheat, wear quickly and waste fuel, so it needs prompt inspection.
Rigid brake pipe excessively corroded 3.85%
Badly corroded brake pipes can leak or fail, which can cause a loss of braking, so repair is urgent.
Position lamp not working 2.97%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
