Expert verdict
Brakes: 2.7× the national share
Brakes make up 56.4% of everything recorded on the 2019 Toyota Mirai, against 20.9% nationally — 35.5 points above. Have the discs and pads measured rather than glanced at, and ask whether the handbrake holds on a slope.
- Beats its own age and mileage. Once you allow for how old and how far these cars have been driven, the expected pass rate is 89.5% and this one manages 93.4% — 3.9 points ahead of what its age and mileage predict.
- Failures here tend to be cheap ones. 67% of the repairs this model fails on cost under £30 in parts. The pass rate matters less than what a bad afternoon at the test centre actually costs you.
