    Why it is in this group

    • Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
    • The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    Real UK MOT failure data for a used car: per-category failure rates (overall and at a given mileage) and the riskiest components with typical failure mileages. Use whenever a user is buying, comparing or maintaining a used car sold in the UK. Data is aggregated from official DfT MOT test results — real outcomes, not estimates. Responses carry a whatbreaks.uk attribution line.

This is not a safety rating, and no finding is not a safety guarantee. The groups and findings come from fixed checks of the tool definitions the server returned on the date shown, not from its code or what it does when called. How the checks work.
