The list published by BookyMyGarage included false teeth, a mankini, a pygmy goat and various other pets, one owner even left a baby as they didn’t want to wake it from its slumber.

Jessica Potts, of BookMyGarage, said: “Our cars are used to transport a whole array of different items.

"We wanted to have a little fun with the survey and along with some amusing items left behind, it seems some customers can be quite creative when giving the reason for a fault that’s been found on their vehicle.”

As well as discovering items such as edible underwear, the survey also revealed some of the more far-fetched excuses for things going wrong with cars, with perhaps the most inventive excuse being the driver who blamed the dog for eating the seatbelt.

4	It looked easy when I Googled it…
5	I thought it was just a small puddle…
