Battery(ies) insecure but not likely to fall from carrier on the Mitsubishi L200
Battery(ies) insecure but not likely to fall from carrier on the Mitsubishi L200 is recorded on 2,204 tests — 0.7% of all its MOT tests, against 0.3% across every car in the data. That is 2.3× the national share.
Is this unusual for this model?
| Compared with | What it says |
|---|---|
| Every car in the data | 0.3% of tests record it — this model is 2.3× that share |
| The 194 models compared | 58 of 194, highest first |
| The model's own record | 299,746 tests · every year of the L200 → |
A share of tests is not a probability for your car: it counts every Mitsubishi L200 tested, whatever its mileage, service history and use. The like-for-like comparison on the model page is the fairer number.
