FridgeFreezer Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Thought this may be of interest to some, VOSa have been badgered under FoI rules to release the data for MOT failures: http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/opensecrets/2010/01/mot_failure_rates_released.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgnas Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Landrover data starts around page 420 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark90 Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Failure reasons make interesting reading. Although nothing we didn't already know, lighting across all the LR range and body rot on discos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
errol209 Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Landrover data starts around page 420 And some of it is b*****x! An 1883 Audi 80? How about a 1958 LR Discovery? 1900 Ford Fiesta? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark90 Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 You can't expect data from a government agency to be 100% correct Besides we all know there are lots of pre-1973 defenders out there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt bristol Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 You can't expect data from a government agency to be 100% correct Besides we all know there are lots of pre-1973 defenders out there Why not? It costs enough for an MOT and the bloke (or bloke-et) actually sits there and types the information in. Same goes for DVLA every change of paperwork seems to incur a charge these days so why sohouldn't we expect 100% accuracy - the tax man does. Not having a go, just thinkhte government should be more accountable rather than hiding behind 'well theres bound to be mistakes' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich_P Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 I can only find modern Land Rovers or some like a Discovery posing as a 1950s Rover. In fact, kit cars default to 1971 on the MOT too it says. Does that mean kit cars have the same test as a vehicle built in 1971? Like visual only on exhaust? Seatbelts only in front etc?

Not having a go, just thinkhte government should be more accountable rather than hiding behind 'well theres bound to be mistakes' I had VOSA pay me a visit because of inaccuracies on my Volvo V70 which had appeared on their system as a V90. It might be that this data set was before they'd gone round tidying entries up. IIRC it was several months after the MOT that they got in touch about my vehicle and several more before two blokes turned up to check it was legit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
