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.

7 MOTs

These figures come from only 7 MOT tests. 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 20,500 (most between 16,375 and 31,250).

2014: 100% → 2015: 75% → 2016: 100% → 2017: 67% → 2018: 100% → 2019: 100% → 2020: 100% → 2021: 100% → 2022: 100% → 2023: 100% → 2024: 100% → 2025: 100%
