What fails its inspection
Great Britain's MOT record for the 2017 2.0 diesel. 29 of 379 tests failed, 8%.
Better than 87% of 2017 cars. The typical one fails 12%, across 926 models with enough tests behind them to say.
| Where | Share of failures | Failed tests |
|---|---|---|
| Brakes | 28% | 8 |
| Tyres and wheels | 28% | 8 |
| Seat belts and airbags | 21% | 6 |
| Lights and electrics | 17% | 5 |
| Visibility | 17% | 5 |
| Exhaust and emissions | 7% | 2 |
The defects inspectors cite
- An SRS malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) indicates a system malfunction
- Parking brake efficiency below minimum requirement
- Wiper blade missing or obviously not clearing the windscreen
- A tyre pressure monitoring system malfunctioning or obviously inoperative
- A lamp missing, inoperative or in the case of a multiple light source more than 1/2 not functioning
- A tyre seriously damaged
Where it stands out against its peers
- Seat belts and airbags: failed more often than 98% of 2017 cars — 21% of its 29 failed tests, where an ordinary 2017 car has 1%.
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.
