Quick summary
Total: 190 cars
The 1969 Morris Minor 1000 has a higher overall defect rate of 134 per 100 vehicles compared to the average of 117 per 100, representing a 15% increase. Notably, it shows significant issues with brakes, body structure, and equipment, all of which exceed the average defect percentages for cars of the same age. The model performs particularly poorly in brakes, with defects at 53%, which is 41% higher than the average. Additionally, mileage trends indicate that defects remain relatively consistent across lower mileage segments but suggest increasing concerns as mileage approaches 124,000. Overall, while tyre wear is a common issue across vehicles, this model's standout problems lie in specific categories rather than general wear.

Categories
Brakes
▼ 83.1% worse
53.1 faults / 100 tests
Year avg: 29.0 / 100 tests
- Brakes imbalance across an axle such that: the braking effort from any wheel is less than 70% of the maximum effort recorded from the other wheel on the same axle. Or in the case of testing on the road, the vehicle deviates excessively from a straight lin
- Significant brake effort recorded with no brake applied indicating a binding brake
Steering
▲ 2.5% better
