Most common failures
The 10 defects that failed SEAT Cordoba tests most often, as a share of all tests.
| Failure | Tests | Cars the same age | vs same age | Marked dangerous |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stop lamp: not working Lights and electrics | 8.2% | 3.4% | 2.4× | 0.0% |
| Headlamp aim: projected beam image is obviously incorrect Lights and electrics | 6.6% | 3.3% | 2.0× | 0.0% |
| Rbt (sp): efficiency below requirements Brakes | 6.6% | 2.5% | 2.6× | 0.0% |
| Coil spring: fractured or broken Suspension | 5.7% | 2.0% | 2.9× | 0.0% |
| Position lamp: not working Lights and electrics | 5.7% | 4.6% | 1.2× | 0.0% |
| Headlamp aim: too low Lights and electrics | 4.1% | 1.7% | 2.4× | 0.0% |
| Joints: constant velocity boot split or insecure, no longer prevents the ingress of dirt Body and structure | 4.1% | 2.7% | 1.5× | 0.0% |
| Pins and bushes: pin or bush excessively worn Suspension | 4.1% | 2.2% | 1.9× | 0.0% |
| Tread depth: tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm Tyres Dangerous | 4.1% | 2.0% | 2.1× | 100.0% |
| Wipers: does not clear the windscreen effectively Visibility (wipers, glass, mirrors) | 4.1% | 3.1% | 1.3× | 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.
