What to check before the MOT

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

  • Start with not working - it accounts for 40% of failed tests on this model.
  • Then check excessively stiff or notchy and tread depth is below minimum requirements of 1.0mm, the next two most common reasons.
  • The most common advisory is excessively stiff or notchy (5.5% of all tests) - not a failure, but money you will spend sooner or later.
  • Average recorded mileage at test is 4,511 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.
