What fails its inspection
Great Britain's MOT record for the 2020 2.0 diesel. 131 of 1,009 tests failed, 13%.
Better than 11% of 2020 cars. The typical one fails 8%, across 906 models with enough tests behind them to say.
| Where | Share of failures | Failed tests |
|---|---|---|
| Exhaust and emissions | 53% | 69 |
| Tyres and wheels | 34% | 44 |
| Suspension | 11% | 14 |
| Brakes | 10% | 13 |
| Visibility | 8% | 11 |
| Plates and identity | 3% | 4 |
The defects inspectors cite
- Engine MIL illuminated indicating a malfunction
- A tyre seriously damaged
- Smoke opacity levels exceed the manufacturer's specified limit
- A suspension pin, bush or joint excessively worn
- Smoke opacity levels exceed default limit
- A tyre cords visible or damaged
Where it stands out against its peers
- Exhaust and emissions: failed more often than 99% of 2020 cars — 53% of its 131 failed tests, where an ordinary 2020 car has 5%.
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 | 10% | 5% | 342 | |
| 20–40k miles | 15% | 10% | 587 | |
| 40–60k miles | 10% | 13% | 69 |
998 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.
