2 Sport Nav Auto: a strong MOT record by UK norms

Across 594 MOT tests, the 2 Sport Nav Auto returns 93.4% first-time pass — comfortably ahead of the UK fleet average. The single most-logged Major fail is a defective wiper blade. Windscreen damage and brake pads worn below 1.5 mm round out the top three. Average tested mileage sits at 13,729, which is the lens to read those failure rankings through.
