Which Mitsubishi fails its MOT most, and which least?
The Mitsubishi Spacegear has the highest failure rate at 37.4%, and the Mitsubishi Eclipse the lowest at 11.7%. 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.
