What fails its inspection
Great Britain's MOT record for the 2010 1.5 diesel. 24 of 69 tests failed, 35%.
Better than 1% of 2010 cars. The typical one fails 24%, across 955 models with enough tests behind them to say.
| Where | Share of failures | Failed tests |
|---|---|---|
| Suspension | 54% | 13 |
| Lights and electrics | 33% | 8 |
| Steering | 29% | 7 |
| Brakes | 25% | 6 |
| Tyres and wheels | 21% | 5 |
| Visibility | 17% | 4 |
The defects inspectors cite
- A spring or spring component fractured or seriously weakened
- A suspension pin, bush or joint excessively worn
- A steering ball joint with excessive wear or free play
- Stop lamp missing, inoperative or in the case of a multiple light source more than 1/2 not functioning
- A brake lining or pad worn below 1.5mm
- A lamp missing, inoperative or in the case of a multiple light source more than 1/2 not functioning
Where it stands out against its peers
- Steering: failed more often than 95% of 2010 cars — 29% of its 24 failed tests, where an ordinary 2010 car has 5%.
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.
