Pass rate by year of first registration

Older cars fail more often, so compare a car with others of the same age. Years with very few MOTs can show extreme pass rates, even 0% or 100%, so give more weight to years with more tests.

33 MOTs

These figures come from 33 MOT tests. That's a fairly small number of cars, so they may not be typical of these cars as a whole.
