What it fails on, and why

Steering50.0% of failures

Steering faults are typically worn track-rod ends or ball joints, play in the rack, or a split gaiter letting grease out and dirt in. Excessive free play at the wheel fails.

Brakes25.0% of failures

Brake failures cover worn pads and discs, an imbalance between wheels, corroded or scored discs, or a binding caliper. Braking efficiency is measured on a rolling road, so a spongy or pulling brake shows up as a low reading.

Other25.0% of failures

This covers a range of smaller items, from a non-working horn to a warning light left on.

Fuel system25.0% of failures

Fuel-system failures are leaks or an insecure filler cap.
