Raw Fulcrum MOT failure rate

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

Based on 20 MOT tests in DVSA data.

We hold 20 MOT tests for the Raw Fulcrum 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 10.0% fail, most often on suspension, exhaust & emissions, brakes. 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

Suspension100.0% 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.

Exhaust & emissions50.0% of failures

Exhaust failures cover leaks, insecure mountings and emissions over the limit. A blowing exhaust, a failed lambda reading or a diesel that smokes beyond the limit will fail.

Brakes50.0% 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.

The parts that fix each

If your car has just failed, you have 10 working days to fix the items and get a free partial retest. These are the usual parts; confirm the exact fitment against your registration or VIN before buying.
