Where MOT tests find problems: Keeway
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 32,704 classifiable tests for Keeway.
What Keeway failures look like
32,704 Keeway tests on record carry the manual reference DVSA attaches to each defect. The most frequent problems were with lamps, reflectors and electrical equipment on 9,771 tests (29.9%), with brakes on 9,265 tests (28.3%) and with body, structure and attachments on 8,846 tests (27.0%). 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.
