RE: 2013 MOT pass rates

Shocking? It's a terrible inditement of today's motor industry that after 3 years so many cars are not safe to be on the UK roads - this despite all the advances in technology. Pity we cannot have a breakdown of the faults that cause failures, I would bet that worn tyres and blown lamps are very high on the failure list.

A friend of mine recently took a Defender in for its' first MOT AFTER being serviced at a main dealer and it failed on 3 sets of brake calipers seized......... ie he only had braking on ONE wheel................ cause? Lack of use of the car, but I ask you how does a dealership service dept not pick up on annual service that 3 wheels have no braking on them?

A Pangea Green New Defender 110 First Edition is now sitting on my drive alongside British Racing Green Electric Mini Cooper SE Level 3. After 21 years in my hands my TDI300 90 was handed on to the next custodian on 15 July 2022.

Amazing the number of newish cars on the road with only one headlight. I agree, I expect it's tyres, bulbs and worn pads

RE: 2013 MOT pass rates

One must consider to some cars defence that unlike us & our Pride's & Joy they may not have been maintained as in serviced properly,driven very hard & generally abused which will have a detremental effect on longevity of parts etc.
We also must remember that every year stricter rules for passing are coming in & something that wouldn't have even been loked at a while back is now a fail.

In the 3 MOT's I have put my MG Montego through sinse owning it it has flown through every time @ 23 years of age!

I'm not at all suprised to see French rubbish at the bottom.

But to see VW, Volvo and Mini so far down is a bit of a surprise.
