Ldv Maxus MOT pass rate & common failures

At a glance

Recorded pass rate

14.1 points below the fleet average of 65.7%. The examples tested do not cover a wide enough spread of ages and mileages to compare fairly against the rest of the fleet, so no rank is claimed; the failure record below stands on its own.
