What fails its inspection
Great Britain's MOT record for the 2020 1.6 diesel. 55 of 704 tests failed, 8%.
Better than 56% of 2020 cars. The typical one fails 8%, across 906 models with enough tests behind them to say.
| Where | Share of failures | Failed tests |
|---|---|---|
| Tyres and wheels | 49% | 27 |
| Visibility | 40% | 22 |
| Brakes | 11% | 6 |
| Exhaust and emissions | 9% | 5 |
| Body and structure | 2% | 1 |
| Lights and electrics | 2% | 1 |
The defects inspectors cite
- Wiper blade missing or obviously not clearing the windscreen
- Tyre tread depth not in accordance with the requirements
- A tyre seriously damaged
- Engine MIL illuminated indicating a malfunction
- Windscreen washers not working or not providing sufficient fluid to clear the windscreen
- A door will not open using the relevant control or close properly
Where it stands out against its peers
- Visibility: failed more often than 93% of 2020 cars — 40% of its 55 failed tests, where an ordinary 2020 car has 14%.
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 40–60k miles this one fails 12% of its inspections, against the 13% an ordinary car of the same age fails.
| Odometer | Failure rate | Rate | Its age | Tests |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0–20k miles | 6% | 5% | 225 | |
| 20–40k miles | 8% | 10% | 392 | |

Half of these have more than 20k miles on them. That is how far people drive this car, not how long it lasts.
