What is wrong on this page? One tap sends the category only, no text and nothing about you.
88.8% of first attempts passed in 2024 (3,854 tests). Retests after repair are excluded; cars fixed at the test centre (PRS) are shown separately.
Other sites may count retests or all attempts. This page uses 3,854 primary tests: 11.18% failed first time and 90.3% passed when cars fixed at the test centre (PRS) count as passes. The age-adjusted MOT Risk Index 73.7 is shown separately.
