Where MOT tests find problems: Fiat Tribute

What Fiat Tribute failures look like
3,441 Fiat Tribute tests on record carry the manual reference DVSA attaches to each defect. The most frequent problems were with axles, wheels, tyres and suspension on 713 tests (20.7%), with brakes on 350 tests (10.2%) and with lamps, reflectors and electrical equipment on 258 tests (7.5%). 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.
