What fails its inspection
Great Britain's MOT record for the 2011 2.5 diesel. 82 of 331 tests failed, 25%.
Better than 33% of 2011 cars. The typical one fails 22%, across 924 models with enough tests behind them to say.
| Where | Share of failures | Failed tests |
|---|---|---|
| Brakes | 59% | 48 |
| Lights and electrics | 38% | 31 |
| Suspension | 37% | 30 |
| Tyres and wheels | 18% | 15 |
| Steering | 16% | 13 |
| Body and structure | 15% | 12 |
The defects inspectors cite
- A suspension pin, bush or joint excessively worn
- Parking brake efficiency below minimum requirement
- Parking brake inoperative on one side
- The aim of a headlamp is not within limits laid down in the requirements
- A lamp missing, inoperative or in the case of a multiple light source more than 1/2 not functioning
- A spring or spring component fractured or seriously weakened
Where it stands out against its peers
- Brakes: failed more often than 98% of 2011 cars — 59% of its 82 failed tests, where an ordinary 2011 car has 28%.
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.

When it starts failing
At 140–160k miles this one fails 16% of its inspections, against the 26% an ordinary car of the same age fails.
| Odometer | Failure rate | Rate | Its age | Tests |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 60–80k miles | 25% | 21% | 52 | |
| 80–100k miles | 22% | 24% | 65 | |

248 British inspections, grouped by the odometer reading recorded at the test.
Half of these have more than 100k miles on them. That is how far people drive this car, not how long it lasts.
