What fails its inspection
Great Britain's MOT record for the 2020 1.5 diesel. 28 of 138 tests failed, 20%.
Better than 0% of 2020 cars. The typical one fails 8%, across 906 models with enough tests behind them to say.
| Where | Share of failures | Failed tests |
|---|---|---|
| Lights and electrics | 50% | 14 |
| Brakes | 36% | 10 |
| Tyres and wheels | 32% | 9 |
| Visibility | 21% | 6 |
| Exhaust and emissions | 7% | 2 |
| Body and structure | 4% | 1 |
The defects inspectors cite
- A brake lining or pad worn below 1.5mm
- Stop lamp missing, inoperative or in the case of a multiple light source more than 1/2 not functioning
- A tyre pressure monitoring system malfunctioning or obviously inoperative
- Wiper blade missing or obviously not clearing the windscreen
- Brake disc or drum significantly and obviously worn
- Tyre tread depth not in accordance with the requirements
Where it stands out against its peers
- Lights and electrics: failed more often than 96% of 2020 cars — 50% of its 28 failed tests, where an ordinary 2020 car has 13%.
- Brakes: failed more often than 92% of 2020 cars — 36% of its 28 failed tests, where an ordinary 2020 car has 16%.
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.
