What Daihatsu Hijet failures look like
12,190 Daihatsu Hijet tests on record carry the manual reference DVSA attaches to each defect. The most frequent problems were with axles, wheels, tyres and suspension on 7,131 tests (58.5%), with brakes on 5,158 tests (42.3%) and with lamps, reflectors and electrical equipment on 3,533 tests (29.0%). A test can fail on more than one thing, and an MOT can be failed on one defect while another is only advised, so these counts do not add up to the number of tests.
