What fails its inspection
Great Britain's MOT record for the 2006 1.4 petrol. 203 of 799 tests failed, 25%.
Better than 61% of 2006 cars. The typical one fails 27%, across 889 models with enough tests behind them to say.
| Where | Share of failures | Failed tests |
|---|---|---|
| Lights and electrics | 45% | 91 |
| Suspension | 42% | 85 |
| Brakes | 31% | 62 |
| Visibility | 27% | 55 |
| Tyres and wheels | 18% | 36 |
| Body and structure | 15% | 30 |
The defects inspectors cite
- A suspension pin, bush or joint excessively worn
- Wiper blade missing or obviously not clearing the windscreen
- A lamp missing, inoperative or in the case of a multiple light source more than 1/2 not functioning
- Windscreen washers not working or not providing sufficient fluid to clear the windscreen
- A tyre seriously damaged
- Significant brake effort recorded with no brake applied indicating a binding brake
Where it stands out against its peers
- Visibility: failed more often than 96% of 2006 cars — 27% of its 203 failed tests, where an ordinary 2006 car has 9%.
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 100–120k miles this one fails 31% of its inspections, against the 29% an ordinary car of the same age fails.
| Odometer | Failure rate | Rate | Its age | Tests |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 20–40k miles | 25% | 17% | 109 | |
| 40–60k miles | 21% | 21% | 233 | |

770 British inspections, grouped by the odometer reading recorded at the test.
Half of these have more than 60k miles on them. That is how far people drive this car, not how long it lasts.
