What fails its inspection
Great Britain's MOT record for the 2014 2.0 diesel. 16 of 53 tests failed, 30%.
Better than 0% of 2014 cars. The typical one fails 17%, across 870 models with enough tests behind them to say.
| Where | Share of failures | Failed tests |
|---|---|---|
| Brakes | 50% | 8 |
| Lights and electrics | 38% | 6 |
| Body and structure | 31% | 5 |
| Exhaust and emissions | 31% | 5 |
| Suspension | 19% | 3 |
| Visibility | 13% | 2 |
The defects inspectors cite
- A transmission shaft constant velocity joint boot missing or no longer prevents the ingress of dirt etc
- A lamp missing, inoperative or in the case of a multiple light source more than 1/2 not functioning
- Engine MIL illuminated indicating a malfunction
- A brake lining or pad worn below 1.5mm
- A suspension pin, bush or joint excessively worn
- Smoke opacity levels exceed the manufacturer's specified limit
Where it stands out against its peers
- Brakes: failed more often than 95% of 2014 cars — 50% of its 16 failed tests, where an ordinary 2014 car has 25%.
- Exhaust and emissions: failed more often than 96% of 2014 cars — 31% of its 16 failed tests, where an ordinary 2014 car has 8%.
- Body and structure: failed more often than 95% of 2014 cars — 31% of its 16 failed tests, where an ordinary 2014 car has 6%.
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.
