What to check before the MOT
Built from this model's own failure record, not general advice.
- Start with not working - it accounts for 32.9% of failed tests on this model.
- Then check inoperative in the case of a single lamp or all lamps and less than 1.0 mm thick, the next two most common reasons.
- Age matters here: 87.5% of 3-5 year old examples pass, against 75.51% at 11-15 years - a gap of 12 points.
- The most common advisory is tread depth is below minimum requirements of 1.0mm (8% of all tests) - not a failure, but money you will spend sooner or later.
- Average recorded mileage at test is 14,730 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 | 87.5% | 104 | |
| 6-10 years | 78.21% | 390 | |
| 11-15 years | 75.51% | 147 |

Most common advisories
Not a failure and not a legal requirement to fix - but an advisory that repeats year after year is money the next owner spends.
