When it starts failing

At 40–60k miles this one fails 12% of its inspections, about what an ordinary car of the same age does.

1,945 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.
