What fails its inspection
Great Britain's MOT record for the 2013 1.5 diesel. 1,487 of 5,335 tests failed, 28%.
Better than 6% of 2013 cars. The typical one fails 19%, across 828 models with enough tests behind them to say.
| Where | Share of failures | Failed tests |
|---|---|---|
| Suspension | 63% | 939 |
| Lights and electrics | 51% | 756 |
| Brakes | 23% | 344 |
| Tyres and wheels | 20% | 301 |
| Visibility | 17% | 257 |
| Exhaust and emissions | 14% | 210 |
The defects inspectors cite
- A suspension pin, bush or joint excessively worn
- A lamp missing, inoperative or in the case of a multiple light source more than 1/2 not functioning
- A spring or spring component fractured or seriously weakened
- Tyre tread depth not in accordance with the requirements
- Stop lamp missing, inoperative or in the case of a multiple light source more than 1/2 not functioning
- Engine MIL illuminated indicating a malfunction
Where it stands out against its peers
- Suspension: failed more often than 96% of 2013 cars — 63% of its 1,487 failed tests, where an ordinary 2013 car has 34%.
- Lights and electrics: failed more often than 95% of 2013 cars — 51% of its 1,487 failed tests, where an ordinary 2013 car has 28%.
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.

5,311 British inspections, grouped by the odometer reading recorded at the test.
Half of these have more than 100k miles on them. That is how far people drive this car, not how long it lasts.
