What fails its inspection
Great Britain's MOT record for the 2019 2.0 diesel. 14 of 323 tests failed, 4%.
Better than 91% of 2019 cars. The typical one fails 9%, across 908 models with enough tests behind them to say.
| Where | Share of failures | Failed tests |
|---|---|---|
| Lights and electrics | 50% | 7 |
| Tyres and wheels | 14% | 2 |
| Visibility | 14% | 2 |
| Body and structure | 7% | 1 |
| Brakes | 7% | 1 |
| Exhaust and emissions | 7% | 1 |
The defects inspectors cite
- A direction indicator lamp missing, inoperative or in the case of a multiple light source more than 1/2 not functioning
- A lamp missing, inoperative or in the case of a multiple light source more than 1/2 not functioning
- A tyre seriously damaged
- An obligatory rear fog lamp missing, or a front or rear fog lamp inoperative or in the case of a multiple light source more than 1/2 not functioning
- Windscreen washers not working or not providing sufficient fluid to clear the windscreen
- A lamp likely to become detached
Where it stands out against its peers
- Lights and electrics: failed more often than 97% of 2019 cars — 50% of its 14 failed tests, where an ordinary 2019 car has 13%.
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.
