Great Britain's MOT record for the 2020 1.5 petrol. 22 of 276 tests failed, 8%.
Better than 54% of 2020 cars. The typical one fails 8%, across 906 models with enough tests behind them to say.
| Where | Share of failures | Failed tests |
|---|---|---|
| Tyres and wheels | 41% | 9 |
| Seat belts and airbags | 36% | 8 |
| Brakes | 27% | 6 |

The defects inspectors cite
- An SRS malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) indicates a system malfunction
- Brake lining or pad worn down to wear indicator
- A tyre seriously damaged
- Tyre tread depth not in accordance with the requirements
- A brake lining or pad worn below 1.5mm
- A tyre cords visible or damaged
Where it stands out against its peers
- Seat belts and airbags: failed more often than 99% of 2020 cars — 36% of its 22 failed tests, where an ordinary 2020 car has 2%.
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.
