What fails its inspection
Great Britain's MOT record for the 2010 2.0 diesel. 20 of 58 tests failed, 34%.
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 | 45% | 9 |
| Brakes | 35% | 7 |
| Steering | 25% | 5 |
| Body and structure | 20% | 4 |
| Lights and electrics | 20% | 4 |
| Exhaust and emissions | 15% | 3 |
The defects inspectors cite
- A spring or spring component fractured or seriously weakened
- A steering ball joint with excessive wear or free play
- A suspension pin, bush or joint excessively worn
- A transmission shaft constant velocity joint boot missing or no longer prevents the ingress of dirt etc
- 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
Where it stands out against its peers
- Steering: failed more often than 93% of 2010 cars — 25% of its 20 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.
