What fails its inspection
Great Britain's MOT record for the 2015 1.6 diesel. 7,722 of 29,729 tests failed, 26%.
Better than 3% of 2015 cars. The typical one fails 15%, across 894 models with enough tests behind them to say.
| Where | Share of failures | Failed tests |
|---|---|---|
| Suspension | 59% | 4,570 |
| Steering | 40% | 3,094 |
| Brakes | 24% | 1,820 |
| Lights and electrics | 21% | 1,646 |
| Tyres and wheels | 16% | 1,234 |
| Visibility | 10% | 740 |
The defects inspectors cite
- A steering ball joint with excessive wear or free play
- A suspension pin, bush or joint excessively worn
- A spring or spring component fractured or seriously weakened
- A shock absorber damaged to the extent that it does not function or showing signs of severe leakage
- A brake lining or pad worn below 1.5mm
- Engine MIL illuminated indicating a malfunction
Where it stands out against its peers
- Suspension: failed more often than 96% of 2015 cars — 59% of its 7,722 failed tests, where an ordinary 2015 car has 25%.
- Steering: failed more often than 99% of 2015 cars — 40% of its 7,722 failed tests, where an ordinary 2015 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.

Recalls
Filed by the manufacturer with a regulator. A recall is repaired free of charge, whoever owns the car now.
A12/00096/23
The fuel line may come into contact with the bodywork and plastic parts. This can lead to fuel leakage with the result that the vehicle loses road contact or other road users close to the vehicle could slip, increasing the risk of an accident. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.
Recall of the product from end users
A12/00225/23
AdBlue liquid injection may fall below adequate levels at extreme low temperatures (-15°C) when tank and fluid temperature are similarly low. Prolonged exposure to low temperatures may cause AdBlue to freeze, preventing the system from heating it quickly enough, which may result in excessive emission levels. This poses a risk to the environment. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.
Recall of the product from end users
A12/00412/22
The manufacturer's VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) label displays an incorrect weight. This may lead to an accident if more than the maximum allowable weight is towed. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.
Recall of the product from end users
A12/00845/22
The locking mechanism of the front headrests to the seats may be missing and could eject in the event of a collision, increasing the risk of injury. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.
Recall of the product from end users
A12/00992/23
The left track rod of the steering assembly is attached with incorrect torque. This may cause the connection to fail and could result in a loss of steering, increasing the risk of an accident.
