Why does my car make a clicking noise when turning?

Almost always a worn outer CV (constant velocity) joint on the front driveshaft. Get it changed before the joint fails completely.

Here's a quick, honest answer from a working UK mechanic — what causes it, what it costs to fix, and what to do next.

Will it fail an MOT? — A torn CV boot is an automatic MOT fail. A clicking joint is an advisory until the boot tears.

Is it expensive? — No — caught early it is one of the cheapest driveline repairs.
