What fails its inspection
Great Britain's MOT record for the 2020 1.5 hybrid. 28 of 235 tests failed, 12%.
Better than 14% 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 | 54% | 15 |
| Body and structure | 18% | 5 |
| Visibility | 18% | 5 |
| Brakes | 11% | 3 |
| Suspension | 7% | 2 |
| Lights and electrics | 4% | 1 |
The defects inspectors cite
- A tyre seriously damaged
- Wiper blade missing or obviously not clearing the windscreen
- A transmission shaft bearing excessively worn
- A tyre cords visible or damaged
- A suspension component excessively damaged or corroded
- A suspension pin, bush or joint excessively worn
Where it stands out against its peers
- Body and structure: failed more often than 97% of 2020 cars — 18% of its 28 failed tests, where an ordinary 2020 car has 2%.
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 10% of its inspections, against the 13% an ordinary car of the same age fails.
| Odometer | Failure rate | Rate | Its age | Tests |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0–20k miles | 9% | 5% | 47 | |
| 20–40k miles | 15% | 10% | 136 | |

223 British inspections, grouped by the odometer reading recorded at the test.
Half of these have more than 20k miles on them. That is how far people drive this car, not how long it lasts.
