Fatal crashes in the US

From 2020 to 2023, 132 300C vehicles were involved in crashes on US public roads in which someone died, and 75 people died inside them. These are counts, not crash rates: a model with more cars on the road shows up more often, and people killed outside the vehicle are not counted here.

MOT test results in Great Britain

733 300C cars took their annual MOT test in 2023; 63% passed first time, against 57% for all cars of the same ages. Older cars fail more often, so compare a year with the same year of other cars.

Why they fail

Share of all first tests that ended in a fail because of each part of the car (one test can fail on several).
