Going by the car makes it does seem quite stereotypical

The Germans are slightly above average
The Japanese are quite a bit above average
The french are rubbish

 

[Dr House]

I am really surprised the porsche is so high.

 

[TripleT]

Heh and on that, 45% for 306's. 47.1% for 2000 models.

But mine's never failed, yet!

Porsche owners get it MOT'd at a dealer/proper garage who will either fix things as they break or do it before they 'submit' the MOT.

Turns out other Mini Cooper owners don't change their wipers much.

Probably the same for any other stereotypical girls car.

This list reflects on the owners of particular cars far more than the cars themselves.

They're only driven by women which explains that one

Totally agree.

Ford Scorpio 50.5% - brakes and suspension most common failure (not suprising as they eat front wishbones and hand breaks sieze)

Lexus LS400 73%

No data for Westfields

 

[bledd]

The garage that I use generally have a quick once over and tell you if they know it will fail, then they work on those areas before doing the proper test.

My 2004 CV8 just passed with zero advisories. 69.8% pass rate apparently.

 

[adam cool dude]

1998 Nissan Primera 45% pass rate. Ive owned for 5 years and passed every time. It's a shame you can not filter to individual models.

It's also pretty obvious that the newer cars are going to have a lot higher pass rates.
