Top failures
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 5.97%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
Position lamp not working 5.63%
A failed position lamp makes the car harder to see in poor light and is illegal, so it must be repaired.
Registration plate lamp not working 5.55%
A dark number plate lamp makes the plate hard to read at night, which is illegal and must be fixed.
Wiper blade not clearing windscreen 3.75%
Wipers that do not clear the windscreen reduce visibility in rain, which is a safety risk, so replace them.
Rigid brake pipe excessively corroded 3.75%
Badly corroded brake pipes can leak or fail, which can cause a loss of braking, so repair is urgent.
Stop lamp not working 3.58%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
