Fail rate is first attempts at class 4 tests. Median age is the age of a typical Enyaq 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 Enyaq in 2025, counted by how many tests each one appeared on.

  1. 1Condition: has a cut in excess of the requirements deep enough to reach the ply or cords252 tests
  2. 2Condition: has ply or cords exposed216 tests
  3. 3Tread depth: tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm152 tests
  4. 4SRS malfunction indicator lamp: warning lamp indicates a fault80 tests
  5. 5Shock absorbers: has a serious fluid leak72 tests
  6. 6Wipers: does not clear the windscreen effectively34 tests
  7. 7Condition: has a bulge, caused by separation or partial failure of its structure29 tests
  8. 8Linkage ball joints: ball joint excessively worn22 tests

What wears out first

Advisories are the tester flagging wear that is still legal. A typical Enyaq collects 1.99 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.

  1. 1Tread depth: tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm1,654 tests
  2. 2Tread depth: tread pattern not visible over the whole tread area when minimum depth required is 1.0mm307 tests
