Where MOT tests find problems: Jaguar Xk8

What Jaguar Xk8 failures look like
73,034 Jaguar Xk8 tests on record carry the manual reference DVSA attaches to each defect. The most frequent problems were with axles, wheels, tyres and suspension on 51,153 tests (70.0%), with brakes on 21,480 tests (29.4%) and with nuisance (emissions and noise) on 7,836 tests (10.7%). 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.
