Eager to avoid MOT failure? Regardless of whether you’re worried about not passing your MOT due to MOT emissions failure or MOT tyre failure, the fully qualified team of mechanics at ART Garage Crewe can help.
Below, we explain which manufacturers and models you should avoid and which you should consider purchasing if you want to increase your chances of passing your next MOT.
What is the most common reason to fail an MOT?
While MOT tyre failure and windscreen MOT failure are some of the biggest reasons for a vehicle failing its MOT, the consensus among many garages is that lighting is the most common reason for MOT failure.
Regardless of whether this is due to a broken bulb or electrical fault, adequate lighting is essential for safe driving, so any issues with your headlights, sidelights, indicators, fog lights, brake lights will all typically result in MOT failure.
Which vehicles have the lowest MOT pass rates?
According to DVSA (Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency) data collected between 1st January and 31st July 2023 and provided by car leasing comparison website, LeaseLoco, there are ten vehicles that fail MOTs the most.
The vehicles that have the lowest MOT pass rate include the Peugeot 206, 207, and 307, as well as the Citroen Xsara, Renault Grand Scenic, and VW Beetle.
Other vehicles also identified as having poor MOT pass rates include the Hyundai Getz, VW Fox, Ford Focus C-Max, and the Renault Megane.
In terms of vehicle manufacturers, Peugeot stands out the most with three models making it into this top ten list of vehicles with the lowest MOT pass rate.
Which cars have the best MOT performance?
Based on the same set of data from DVSA, the cars with the highest MOT pass rate were also identified with three Lexus models coming out on top. This includes the Lexus UX, RX, and NX, as well as the Porsche Macan, and Ford Puma.
More vehicles that were highlighted as having a high MOT pass rate included the VW T-Cross, Audi Q2, VW T-Roc, Jaguar I-Pace, and Skoda Karoq. Naturally, however, many other factors affect whether your vehicle will pass its MOT including the vehicle’s age, mileage, and condition.
