Common initial failure categories
These are the items that most often caused a Toyota GR Yaris Circuit 4WD to fail its first test, with what each one usually means for a buyer.
- Condition — 2.7% of tests. Corrosion, damage or wear on a tested component. Worth seeing in person, as the cost ranges from trivial to structural.
- Exhaust Emissions — 0.9% of tests. The car exceeded its emissions limits. Can be a sensor or a service, but on a diesel it can also mean an expensive filter or catalyst.
- Registration Plates — 0.8% of tests. A damaged, dirty or non-compliant number plate.
- Tyre Pressure Monitoring System — 0.7% of tests. The TPMS warning is on. Often a sensor battery, which is a per-wheel cost.
- Washers — 0.5% of tests. Empty or blocked washers. Trivial, but again a sign of the last owner's care.
- Tread Depth — 0.5% of tests. Tyres below the 1.6mm legal limit. Budget for tyres, and treat it as a sign of how the car was maintained.
What this does and does not tell you
A pass rate describes how a population of cars behaved on test day. It says nothing about how one car was driven, serviced or repaired, and an MOT does not cover the engine, clutch or gearbox at all.
Use it to know what to look for: if tyres and brakes dominate the list, price those in; if corrosion or suspension appears, get underneath the car. Then check the individual vehicle — its MOT history shows whether these same items have been advised year after year, and its mileage record shows whether the reading is consistent.
