What to check before the MOT

Built from this model's own failure record, not general advice.

Start with not working - it accounts for 30.3% of failed tests on this model.
Then check missing and not working on dipped beam, the next two most common reasons.
The most common advisory is excessively binding (4.8% of all tests) - not a failure, but money you will spend sooner or later.
Average recorded mileage at test is 4,151 miles, which is the number to compare any advert against.

Pass rate by age

A single pass rate hides the most useful thing in this data: how the same model behaves at three years old and at fifteen.

Age at test	Pass rate		Tests
3-5 years	76.47%		255
6-10 years	73.89%		406
