Battery(ies) insecure but not likely to fall from carrier on the Peugeot 206
Battery(ies) insecure but not likely to fall from carrier on the Peugeot 206 is recorded on 2,310 tests — 1.3% of all its MOT tests, against 0.3% across every car in the data. That is 4.3× 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 4.3× that share |
| The 194 models compared | 23 of 194, highest first |
| The model's own record | 175,269 tests · every year of the 206 → |
A share of tests is not a probability for your car: it counts every Peugeot 206 tested, whatever its mileage, service history and use. The like-for-like comparison on the model page is the fairer number.

Years with fewer than 0.2% of tests recording the item are left out: a year with two failures in 400 tests is noise, and this table is not here to make noise look like a trend.
