Where they fail
Share of tests with at least one failure in each area, against cars of the same age.
A test can fail in more than one area. Failures fixed during the test are included.
Most common failures
The 10 defects that failed Alpine A110 tests most often, as a share of all tests.
| Failure | Tests | Cars the same age | vs same age | Marked dangerous |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Coil spring: fractured or broken Suspension | 4.5% | 0.5% | 9.0× | 0.0% |
| Tread depth: tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm Tyres Dangerous | 2.0% | 1.5% | 1.3× | 100.0% |
| Headlamp aim: too high Lights and electrics | 1.3% | 0.7% | 1.9× | 0.0% |
| Condition: has a cut in excess of the requirements deep enough to reach the ply or cords Tyres | 0.8% | 1.7% | 0.5× | 0.0% |
| Washers: provides insufficient washer liquid Visibility (wipers, glass, mirrors) | 0.5% | 0.7% | 0.7× | 0.0% |
| Wipers: does not clear the windscreen effectively Visibility (wipers, glass, mirrors) | 0.5% | 1.8% | 0.3× | 0.0% |
| Ball joint: ball joint excessively worn Suspension | 0.4% | 0.3% | 1.3× | 0.0% |
| Catalyst emissions: Lambda reading after 2nd fast idle outside specified limits Emissions and leaks | 0.4% | 0.1% | 4.0× | 0.0% |
| Headlamp aim: too low Lights and electrics | 0.4% | 0.6% | 0.7× | 0.0% |
| Catalyst emissions: carbon monoxide content after 2nd fast idle exceeds default limits Emissions and leaks | 0.3% | 0.0% | – | 0.0% |
“vs same age” compares this model with cars of the same age: 2.0× means twice as often. “Marked dangerous” is how often the tester recorded that failure as dangerous.
