Jinling Venom MOT failure rate

What a Jinling Venom fails its MOT on, from real DVSA test data, and the part that resolves each item.

Based on 54 MOT tests in DVSA data.

We hold 54 MOT tests for the Jinling Venom in the DVSA data. That is a smaller sample than our high-volume models, so treat these figures as indicative rather than definitive.

On what we have, about 31.5% fail, most often on brakes, other, suspension, tyres. For a precise picture of your own car, use the registration check on the home page. Confirm any part against your registration or VIN before buying.

What it fails on, and why

Brakes52.9% of failures

Brake failures cover worn pads and discs, an imbalance between wheels, corroded or scored discs, or a binding caliper. Braking efficiency is measured on a rolling road, so a spongy or pulling brake shows up as a low reading.

Other35.3% of failures

This covers a range of smaller items, from a non-working horn to a warning light left on.

Suspension35.3% of failures

Suspension failures usually mean a worn or snapped coil spring, a leaking shock absorber, or play in a lower arm ball joint or bush. The tester checks for corrosion, fractures and excessive movement. A broken front spring is one of the most common failures on higher-mileage cars and is a straightforward replacement.

Tyres35.3% of failures

Tyres fail for tread below the 1.6mm legal limit across the central three-quarters, uneven or exposed-cord wear, or sidewall damage. The tester inspects all four; a single illegal tyre is a fail.

Registration plate29.4% of failures

A missing, damaged, dirty or incorrectly-spaced number plate, or one using the wrong font, will fail. A replacement plate is inexpensive.

Steering17.6% of failures

Steering faults are typically worn track-rod ends or ball joints, play in the rack, or a split gaiter letting grease out and dirt in. Excessive free play at the wheel fails.
