Where MOT tests find problems: Honda Vtx 1300s
A test can find problems in more than one category, so the figures above do not sum to 100%. Each percentage is the share of classifiable tests that found at least one defect in that category. Based on 2,361 classifiable tests for Honda Vtx 1300s.
What Honda Vtx 1300s failures look like
2,361 Honda Vtx 1300s tests on record carry the manual reference DVSA attaches to each defect. The most frequent problems were with nuisance (emissions and noise) on 294 tests (12.5%), with brakes on 284 tests (12.0%) and with axles, wheels, tyres and suspension on 258 tests (10.9%). 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.
