Which Ferrari fails its MOT most, and which least?
The Ferrari Mondial has the highest failure rate at 17.6%, and the Ferrari 812 the lowest at 3.5%. A higher rate reflects how old and how hard a model tends to be used as much as how it was built, so the oldest models in the range usually sit near the top.
