# Triumph Acclaim MOT reliability: pass rate and common failures | RegFlags

The Triumph Acclaim passed its MOT first time 81% of the time, but from only 32 MOT tests, so treat it as a rough guide. See pass rates by year, common failures and typical mileage.

- First-time MOT pass rate: 81%
- MOT tests analysed: 32 (DVSA anonymised MOT data, 2025)
- Most common failure area: Body, structure & corrosion
- Licensed in Great Britain: 154 (2026 Q2)

These figures come from 32 MOT tests. That's a fairly small number of cars, so they may not be typical of these cars as a whole.
