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 Mitsubishi Grandis tests most often, as a share of all tests.
| Failure | Tests | Cars the same age | vs same age | Marked dangerous |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Position lamp: not working Lights and electrics | 10.9% | 5.7% | 1.9× | 0.0% |
| Headlamp aim: projected beam image is obviously incorrect Lights and electrics | 6.2% | 3.8% | 1.6× | 0.0% |
| Malfunction indicator lamp: inoperative or indicates a malfunction Emissions and leaks | 6.2% | 2.7% | 2.3× | 0.0% |
| Track rod end: ball joint has excessive play Steering | 5.6% | 1.8% | 3.1× | 0.0% |
| Ball joint: ball joint excessively worn Suspension | 5.4% | 3.0% | 1.8× | 0.0% |
| Wipers: does not clear the windscreen effectively Visibility (wipers, glass, mirrors) | 4.6% | 2.7% | 1.7× | 0.0% |
| Coil spring: fractured or broken Suspension | 3.9% | 3.2% | 1.2× | 0.0% |
| Registration plate lamp(s): inoperative in the case of a single lamp or all lamps Lights and electrics | 3.3% | 2.0% | 1.7× | 0.0% |
| Brake pads: less than 1.5 mm thick Brakes Dangerous | 3.1% | 1.8% | 1.7× | 100.0% |
| Suspension arm: corroded and seriously weakened Suspension | 3.0% | 0.3% | 10× | 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.
