What fails its inspection
Great Britain's MOT record for the 2016 1.0 petrol. 1,459 of 12,946 tests failed, 11%.
Better than 66% of 2016 cars. The typical one fails 13%, across 899 models with enough tests behind them to say.
| Where | Share of failures | Failed tests |
|---|---|---|
| Tyres and wheels | 43% | 627 |
| Brakes | 39% | 575 |
| Visibility | 22% | 314 |
| Lights and electrics | 12% | 178 |
| Suspension | 11% | 156 |
| Exhaust and emissions | 5% | 68 |
The defects inspectors cite
- Tyre tread depth not in accordance with the requirements
- Wiper blade missing or obviously not clearing the windscreen
- A tyre seriously damaged
- A brake lining or pad worn below 1.5mm
- A tyre cords visible or damaged
- Brake disc or drum significantly and obviously worn
Where it stands out against its peers
- Visibility: failed more often than 90% of 2016 cars — 22% of its 1,459 failed tests, where an ordinary 2016 car has 11%.
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.
