What fails its inspection
Great Britain's MOT record for the 2010 2.0 diesel. 15 of 52 tests failed, 29%.
Better than 15% of 2010 cars. The typical one fails 24%, across 955 models with enough tests behind them to say.
| Where | Share of failures | Failed tests |
|---|---|---|
| Brakes | 60% | 9 |
| Suspension | 33% | 5 |
| Tyres and wheels | 33% | 5 |
| Lights and electrics | 27% | 4 |
| Steering | 13% | 2 |
| Visibility | 7% | 1 |
The defects inspectors cite
- Parking brake efficiency below minimum requirement
- A brake lining or pad worn below 1.5mm
- A suspension pin, bush or joint excessively worn
- Tyre tread depth not in accordance with the requirements
- A steering ball joint with excessive wear or free play
- A suspension joint dust cover missing or no longer prevents the ingress of dirt etc
Where it stands out against its peers
- Brakes: failed more often than 98% of 2010 cars — 60% of its 15 failed tests, where an ordinary 2010 car has 29%.
Same model year only, at least 30 peer cars, zeros included. Every car has a worst part; this shows which, and how far from ordinary it is. A high share means more to check, not a verdict.
NHTSA's investigations are American; no European regulator publishes an equivalent record, so this section has nothing to draw on for a European car. There is no European equivalent of the service-bulletin register either.
