Lots of interesting info on MoTs

Is this a true test, or is it "how bent MOT garages are in the UK?"

I mean, FFS, how can 98% more cars fail on brakes in Dundee than in
the South East?...  something isn't right there. If those stats were
to be believed, half of the people in Dundee would be dead!

I dunno, I mean it's not as if the average age of cars is older & there's

98% more than what? relative differences expressed as percentages can
be extremely misleading...

If that is an accurate quote, all it means is nearly twice as many cars
fail on brakes than in the SE.
