What the MOT tests show

What we know

1.0 fails per 100 MOT tests at 6 years, against 2.9 for all class 4 vehicles tested at 6 (all test years). The Land Rover Range Rover Evoque fails less often here.

Why it matters

A suspension fail stops the car passing until it is fixed; the most common one is rated major by DVSA.

What to check

Push down hard on each corner: it should rise once and settle. Listen for knocks over speed bumps and look behind each wheel for snapped springs or split rubber bushes.
