We bought this for a last minute trip with my Ford Fiesta and were aware of the very mixed reviews. You have to reinforce this https://www.halfords.com/cycling/bike-racks/rear-mounted-bike-racks/halfords-rear-high-mount-3-bike-bike-rack-539061.html with bungees around the bikes, by tying knots so the grasps don’t slip and tightening the screws in the part the bike sits in with a screwdriver. The instructions are useless, I’d recommend watching a video for a similar rack on YouTube or asking for help if you haven’t used one before. Straightforward if you’re familiar. The instructions do say you have to check the rack every 2 miles, this is probably to cover themselves. The rack needs to be at a slight upwards angle of about 10 degrees or the bikes will slip off. On the way back we didn’t angle it enough and one bike had nearly slipped off. The instructions are careless and could cause serious error. We drove on the motorway 100 miles with 2 bikes.
