# L D V Cub MOT reliability: pass rate and common failures | RegFlags

The L D V Cub passed its MOT first time 52% of the time, but from only 50 MOT tests, so treat it as a rough guide. See pass rates by year, common failures and typical mileage.

- First-time MOT pass rate: 52%
- MOT tests analysed: 50 (DVSA anonymised MOT data, 2025)
- Most common failure area: Suspension & axles
- Licensed in Great Britain: 35 (2026 Q2)

These figures come from 50 MOT tests. That's a fairly small number of cars, so they may not be typical of these cars as a whole.
