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 Suzuki S-Cross tests most often, as a share of all tests.
| Failure | Tests | Cars the same age | vs same age | Marked dangerous |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wipers: does not clear the windscreen effectively Visibility (wipers, glass, mirrors) | 1.5% | 1.6% | 0.9× | 0.0% |
| Brake pads: less than 1.5 mm thick Brakes Dangerous | 0.6% | 0.8% | 0.8× | 100.0% |
| Headlamp aim: too high Lights and electrics | 0.6% | 0.8% | 0.8× | 0.0% |
| Shock absorbers: has a serious fluid leak Suspension | 0.6% | 0.2% | 3.0× | 0.0% |
| Stop lamp: not working Lights and electrics | 0.6% | 0.2% | 3.0× | 0.0% |
| Ball joint dust cover: ball joint dust cover no longer prevents the ingress of dirt Suspension | 0.3% | 0.1% | 3.0× | 0.0% |
| Ball joint: ball joint excessively worn Suspension | 0.3% | 0.2% | 1.5× | 0.0% |
| Condition: has a cut in excess of the requirements deep enough to reach the ply or cords Tyres | 0.3% | 1.9% | 0.2× | 0.0% |
| Driver's view: of the road through the swept area of the windscreen significantly affected by an obstruction Visibility (wipers, glass, mirrors) | 0.3% | 0.0% | – | 0.0% |
| Registration plates: does not conform to the specified requirements Identification of the vehicle | 0.3% | 0.1% | 3.0× | 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.
