Registered from 2019 to 2021.
What fails its inspection
Great Britain's MOT record for the 2020 1.0 petrol. 119 of 1,950 tests failed, 6%.
Better than 77% of 2020 cars. The typical one fails 8%, across 906 models with enough tests behind them to say.
| Where | Share of failures | Failed tests |
|---|---|---|
| Visibility | 52% | 62 |
| Tyres and wheels | 45% | 53 |
| Exhaust and emissions | 6% | 7 |
| Lights and electrics | 6% | 7 |
| Brakes | 5% | 6 |
| Suspension | 3% | 3 |
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
- A brake lining or pad worn below 1.5mm
- Windscreen washers not working or not providing sufficient fluid to clear the windscreen
- 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
Where it stands out against its peers
- Visibility: failed more often than 98% of 2020 cars — 52% of its 119 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 | 4% | 5% | 967 | |
| 20–40k miles | 8% | 10% | 857 | |
| 40–60k miles | 12% | 13% | 104 |
1,928 British inspections, grouped by the odometer reading recorded at the test.
Half of these have under 20k miles on them. That is how far people drive this car, not how long it lasts.
