Which Toyota models fail their MOT less for their age?
In 2024, 81.3% of MOTs on the 35 Toyota models published here passed (74.3% first time, 7.0% after a fix at the test centre), from 1,683,875 first tests. Allowing for age (not mileage), these Toyota models fail 11% less often than normal: brand MOT Risk Index 88.5 (95% CI 88.3–88.7; 100 = normal).
Among Toyota models with at least 10,000 first tests, the Toyota iQ has the lowest index (64.0) and the Toyota Proace (van) the highest (168.5). On raw pass rates, the Toyota C-HR comes first instead, because the models' fleets differ in age.
