Nick presented a solution with -twoway bar-. The original bar graph
can also be modified with -gr_edit-.

sysuse auto, clear
gen blank = .
#delimit ;
graph bar rep78 blank headroom gear_ratio, showyvars
 yvaroptions(relabel(1 "Repair record" 2 " " 3 "Headroom" 4 "Gear ratio"))
 legend(off);
gr_edit .varaxis.major.delete_tick 2;
gr_edit .varaxis.major.num_rule_ticks = 0;
gr_edit .varaxis.edit_tick 1 15.9091 `""Repair" "record""', tickset(major);
