Volvo 480
186 cars tested, of which 117 failed their MoT, for an overall failure rate of 62.9%
The Volvo 480's appearance here shouldn't be too much of a surprise for those in the know. The car was built at the NEDCar plant in Holland and used a lot of avantgarde electronic systems - both of which factors have a bearing. Despite all that, the Volvo 480 is an interesting and quirky classic - but clearly one that's more high maintenance than its Swedish cousins.
