What to check before the MOT

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

Start with not working - it accounts for 20.8% of failed tests on this model.
Then check not working on dipped beam and insecure, the next two most common reasons.
The most common advisory is tread not clearly visible (6.6% of all tests) - not a failure, but money you will spend sooner or later.
Average recorded mileage at test is 9,978 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.

3-5 years	73.88%	245
6-10 years	72.06%	698
11-15 years	73.86%	153
