Most common failures
The 10 defects that failed Rover 2000 Series tests most often, as a share of all tests.
| Failure | Tests | Cars the same age | vs same age | Marked dangerous |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Non catalyst emissions: emissions carbon monoxide content excessive Emissions and leaks | 3.2% | 1.5% | 2.1× | 0.0% |
