Does the Mitsubishi Eclipse fail the MOT on body, chassis and structure more than it should?

The Mitsubishi Eclipse records 0.26 body, chassis and structure failure items per 100 initial MOT tests (2019–2024), against 0.62 expected for a car of the same age mix: about as expected for its class and age (the difference is within its interval or under 0.5 items per 100 tests) (−0.36, 95% interval −0.44 to −0.28). It ranks 318 of 663 models on body, chassis and structure (1 = most failures above expected).
