Brake efficiency below requirements on the Renault Trafic
Brake efficiency below requirements on the Renault Trafic is recorded on 10,756 tests — 2.6% of all its MOT tests, against 0.9% across every car in the data. That is 2.9× the national share.
Is this unusual for this model?
| Compared with | What it says |
|---|---|
| Every car in the data | 0.9% of tests record it — this model is 2.9× that share |
| The 283 models compared | 32 of 283, highest first |
| The model's own record | 420,397 tests · every year of the Trafic → |
A share of tests is not a probability for your car: it counts every Renault Trafic 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.
