What fails its inspection
Great Britain's MOT record for the 2010 4.7 petrol. 19 of 81 tests failed, 23%.
Better than 52% of 2010 cars. The typical one fails 24%, across 955 models with enough tests behind them to say.
| Where | Share of failures | Failed tests |
|---|---|---|
| Tyres and wheels | 47% | 9 |
| Brakes | 37% | 7 |
| Lights and electrics | 16% | 3 |
| Suspension | 11% | 2 |
| Visibility | 11% | 2 |
| Body and structure | 5% | 1 |
The defects inspectors cite
- A tyre seriously damaged
- Warning device shows system malfunction
- A headlamp cleaning device inoperative in the case of LED or gas discharge systems (HID)
- Parking brake control missing, defective or inoperative
- Parking brake efficiency below minimum requirement
- Parking brake efficiency less than 50% of the required value
Where it stands out against its peers
- Tyres and wheels: failed more often than 98% of 2010 cars — 47% of its 19 failed tests, where an ordinary 2010 car has 23%.
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.
