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.

These figures come from only 1 MOT test. With so few cars, a single pass or fail changes the percentages a lot, so treat them as a rough guide rather than a true average.

Passed first time 100%. Typical mileage 6,493 (most between 6,493 and 6,493).

2005: 100% → 2007: 100% → 2008: 100% → 2009: 100% → 2010: 100% → 2012: 100% → 2013: 100% → 2014: 100% → 2015: 100% → 2016: 0% → 2018: 50% → 2020: 100% → 2021: 100% → 2022: 100% → 2023: 100% → 2025: 100%
