Most interesting set of scraped data.
VXR8 slightly higher pass rate (84.5%) than Monaros (82.5%) but then there were more Monaro Tests.
Are suspension arms really a weak point on VXR8s?
Are VXR8 owners a bit more naughty with plates and VIN numbers?

And for old Commodores, it's corroded brake lines that burst and pi** fluid everywhere frown

Looks like 4 VXR8s have failed for being too loud!

Who are these people driving VXR8s and presenting them for MOT with the tyres so badly worn that the ply/cords are exposed?

Is that 2615 the amount of cars failed or have they got the date wrong on the monaro list

Factor in that the majority of vehicles are incorrectly failed on the test when it should be pass and advise.
