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 Lancia Delta tests most often, as a share of all tests.
| Failure | Tests | Cars the same age | vs same age | Marked dangerous |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Headlamp aim: too low Lights and electrics | 2.0% | 1.6% | 1.3× | 0.0% |
| Headlamp aim: projected beam image is obviously incorrect Lights and electrics | 1.6% | 1.4% | 1.1× | 0.0% |
| Position lamp: not working Lights and electrics | 1.6% | 2.9% | 0.6× | 0.0% |
| Washers: provides insufficient washer liquid Visibility (wipers, glass, mirrors) | 1.6% | 1.5% | 1.1× | 0.0% |
| Rbt (sp): efficiency below requirements Brakes | 1.4% | 1.8% | 0.8× | 0.0% |
| Side repeaters: not working Lights and electrics | 1.4% | 1.0% | 1.4× | 0.0% |
| Headlamp: not working on dipped beam Lights and electrics | 1.2% | 1.4% | 0.9× | 0.0% |
| Headlamp: not working on main beam Lights and electrics | 1.2% | 1.0% | 1.2× | 0.0% |
| Component mounting prescribed areas: prescribed area excessively corroded significantly reducing structural strength Suspension | 1.0% | 3.1% | 0.3× | 0.0% |
| Decelerometer (sp): efficiency below requirements Brakes | 1.0% | 0.2% | 5.0× | 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.
