What fails its inspection
Great Britain's MOT record for the 2019 2.0 diesel. 161 of 1,748 tests failed, 9%.
Better than 47% of 2019 cars. The typical one fails 9%, across 908 models with enough tests behind them to say.
| Where | Share of failures | Failed tests |
|---|---|---|
| Tyres and wheels | 52% | 84 |
| Suspension | 16% | 26 |
| Brakes | 14% | 23 |
| Lights and electrics | 11% | 18 |
| Seat belts and airbags | 7% | 11 |
| Visibility | 5% | 8 |
The defects inspectors cite
- A tyre seriously damaged
- A tyre cords visible or damaged
- A suspension pin, bush or joint excessively worn
- A brake lining or pad worn below 1.5mm
- A tyre has a lump, bulge or tear caused by separation or partial failure of its structure. This includes any lifting of the tread rubber
- An SRS malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) indicates a system malfunction
Where it stands out against its peers
- Seat belts and airbags: failed more often than 91% of 2019 cars — 7% of its 161 failed tests, where an ordinary 2019 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 60–80k miles this one fails 12% of its inspections, against the 14% an ordinary car of the same age fails.
| Odometer | Failure rate | Rate | Its age | Tests |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0–20k miles | 7% | 5% | 374 | |
| 20–40k miles | 10% | 9% | 1,091 | |

1,744 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.
