nicon2k Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 As some of you may know, the government has been forced to disclose MOT Stats on all cars http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/opensecrets/2010/01/mot_failure_rates_released.html This is the bit relating to the Zed. Obviously its not the full picture but still intresting. A more detailed break down on what they failed on can be found here http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/opensecrets/MOT_Make_Model_Comp_2007.xls Year of Test Test Failure Make Model First Use Passes Failures Rate NISSAN 350 Z 2002 128 49 27.7% 2003 740 139 15.8% 2004 1,779 335 15.8% 2005 31 7 18.4% 2006 1 1 50.0% NISSAN 350 Z Total 2,679 531 16.5% Sorry about the grid spacing, looks fine in the edit window!

Chris`I Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 Interesting reading. Put it into a code section which makes it easier to space out Quote
jamesyj Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 Certainly makes for interesting reading. Although there are a fair few cars which have failed because of "drivers view of the road". I feel this is a slight injustice to the car because the owner didn't action a stone chip on the windscreen. Quote
Stew Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 Interesting in gauging the numbers in the UK too as imports need MOT'd too, unless they are under fairlady???? Looks like stone chips, worn tyres and worn brakes are the biggest culprits. Nothing unusual there! Quote
yokomo Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 lol thought it was going to say exhaust for most due to peeps de cating and trying it for the mot ! Quote
Gaz Walker Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 Was having a look at that this morning, very interesting Quote
jerry3167 Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 Interesting, Mine passed on January 7th!! Quote
rich5259 Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 looks like the 2006 that failed had a bald tyre and blown bulb - stupid reasons for failing that the owner should have sorted Quote
nicon2k Posted January 13, 2010 Author Posted January 13, 2010 Can anyone identify their car as par of the stats? Quote
Chris`I Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 My car will be one of the lighting ones for 2003 as I had a side light out last time. Although Nissan replaced it for free (no mean feat in the Zed!) and retested it immediately, so dont know if the retest cancels that out as it was all in a day Quote
