You want to get into the news but for the right reasons. Well, I am sure Ford UK is not happy with the reports that the brand leads in MOT (the mandatory road testing for vehicles more then 3 years old to ensure that they meet road safety and environmental standards) failure rates.
This is the first time in history that it has been released following a Freedom of Information (FoI) request by the BBC.
Apparently theFord Transit Connect had the highest failure rate at 30.5%, followed by the Renault Megane and the Ford Transit.
I am not surprised that the Toyota Corolla had the lowest failure rate with just 11.2%.
The data is now available for free on the VOSA website in the PDF format (1,200 pages).
