Where MOT tests find problems: Suzuki Gs
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 2,570 classifiable tests for Suzuki Gs.
What Suzuki Gs failures look like
2,570 Suzuki Gs tests on record carry the manual reference DVSA attaches to each defect. The most frequent problems were with axles, wheels, tyres and suspension on 630 tests (24.5%), with brakes on 549 tests (21.4%) and with body, structure and attachments on 333 tests (13.0%). 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.
