What fails its inspection
Great Britain's MOT record for the 2020 electric. 27 of 142 tests failed, 19%.
Better than 1% of 2020 cars. The typical one fails 8%, across 906 models with enough tests behind them to say.
| Where | Share of failures | Failed tests |
|---|---|---|
| Body and structure | 70% | 19 |
| Tyres and wheels | 33% | 9 |
| Lights and electrics | 26% | 7 |
| Suspension | 15% | 4 |
| Visibility | 15% | 4 |
| Seat belts and airbags | 11% | 3 |
The defects inspectors cite
- A transmission shaft constant velocity joint boot missing or no longer prevents the ingress of dirt etc
- Tyre tread depth not in accordance with the requirements
- A headlamp or light source missing, inoperative or more than ½ not functioning in the case of LED
- A tyre pressure monitoring system malfunctioning or obviously inoperative
- An SRS malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) indicates a system malfunction
- Wiper blade missing or obviously not clearing the windscreen
Where it stands out against its peers
- Body and structure: failed more often than 99% of 2020 cars — 70% of its 27 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 60–80k miles this one fails 17% of its inspections, against the 14% an ordinary car of the same age fails.
| Odometer | Failure rate | Rate | Its age | Tests |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 20–40k miles | 19% | 10% | 37 | |
| 40–60k miles | 18% | 13% | 62 | |
| 60–80k miles | 17% | 14% | 30 |
129 British inspections, grouped by the odometer reading recorded at the test.
Half of these have more than 40k miles on them. That is how far people drive this car, not how long it lasts.
