# Sylva Jester MOT reliability: pass rate and common failures | RegFlags

The Sylva Jester passed its MOT first time 80% of the time, but from only 5 MOT tests, so treat it as a rough guide. See pass rates by year, common failures and typical mileage.

- First-time MOT pass rate: 80%
- MOT tests analysed: 5 (DVSA anonymised MOT data, 2025)
- Most common failure area: Brakes

These figures come from only 5 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.
