What fails its inspection
Great Britain's MOT record for the 2017 2.0 diesel. 604 of 3,484 tests failed, 17%.
Better than 12% of 2017 cars. The typical one fails 12%, across 926 models with enough tests behind them to say.
| Where | Share of failures | Failed tests |
|---|---|---|
| Suspension | 28% | 171 |
| Lights and electrics | 28% | 167 |
| Brakes | 25% | 154 |
| Tyres and wheels | 24% | 147 |
| Body and structure | 22% | 134 |
| Visibility | 20% | 121 |
The defects inspectors cite
- A suspension pin, bush or joint excessively worn
- A transmission shaft constant velocity joint boot missing or no longer prevents the ingress of dirt etc
- A brake lining or pad worn below 1.5mm
- Wiper blade missing or obviously not clearing the windscreen
- Stop lamp missing, inoperative or in the case of a multiple light source more than 1/2 not functioning
- A tyre seriously damaged
Where it stands out against its peers
- Body and structure: failed more often than 96% of 2017 cars — 22% of its 604 failed tests, where an ordinary 2017 car has 4%.
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.
