MOT test results in Great Britain
246 FX cars took their annual MOT test in 2023; 78% passed first time, against 64% for all cars of the same ages. Older cars fail more often, so compare a year with the same year of other cars.
| First registered | Tests | Passed first time |
|---|---|---|
| 2012 | 114 | 80% |
| 2011 | 132 | 76% |
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).

|---|---|---|
| Lamps, reflectors and electrical equipment | 8.1% | 15.2% |
| Noise, emissions and leaks | 4.5% | 3.4% |
| Tyres | 4.1% | 7.2% |
| Brakes | 4.1% | 8.2% |
| Suspension | 3.7% | 13.2% |

EU safety alerts
Safety Gate, the European Union's rapid alert system, names the FX in 1 alert. European versions can differ from the North American car.
Wear on the upper steering column bearing could lead to increased friction during steering. Continued use of the damaged steering column could lead to full loss of steering power, increasing the risk of an accident.
