Is the Granturismo getting worse?
The fail rate rose 1.1 points to 16.2% from 2022 to 2025 while the median one tested aged 3 years. Ageing alone would predict about 5.9 points, so it is holding up better than the fleet average for its age.
| Year | Tests | Median age | Fail rate | All cars | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2022 | 1,893 | 11 | 15.1% | 22.5% | |
| 2023 | 1,873 | 12 | 15.2% | 22.8% | |
| 2024 | 1,529 | 13 | 17.7% | 23.2% | |
| 2025 | 1,624 | 14 | 16.2% | 22.6% |
Fail rate is first attempts at class 4 tests. Median age is the age of a typical Granturismo at its test that year, and it is the number to watch: across the whole fleet each extra year of age adds roughly 1.9 points to the fail rate, so a model whose age and fail rate rise together is simply getting older.
The exact defects that fail it
Every failure item DVSA recorded against a Granturismo in 2025, counted by how many tests each one appeared on.
- 1Coil spring: fractured or broken45 tests
- 2Condition: has ply or cords exposed39 tests
- 3Anti-lock braking system: warning lamp indicates an ABS fault28 tests
- 4Tread depth: tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm27 tests
- 5Wipers: does not clear the windscreen effectively27 tests
- 6Rbt (sp): efficiency less than 50% of the required value20 tests
- 7Condition: has a bulge, caused by separation or partial failure of its structure20 tests
- 8Parking brake performance: inoperative on one side16 tests
What wears out first
Advisories are the tester flagging wear that is still legal. A typical Granturismo collects 2.36 of them per test, and these are the ones that come up most. Treat it as the running-repairs list for the next year or two.
- 1Tread depth: tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm210 tests
- 2Brake discs: in such a condition that it is seriously weakened118 tests
- 3Condition: has a tear, caused by separation or partial failure of its structure81 tests
- 4Coil spring: corroded so that its cross sectional area is reduced and seriously weakened62 tests
- 5Brake pads: less than 1.5 mm thick45 tests
- 6Engine oil leaks: leaking excessively from engine37 tests
- 7Brake discs: significantly and obviously worn27 tests
- 8Non-component advisories: Nail in tyre27 tests
