Chrysler 300C MOT: quick answers

What is the Chrysler 300C first-time MOT pass rate?

64.2% of first attempts passed in 2024 (3,372 tests). Retests after repair are excluded; cars fixed at the test centre (PRS) are shown separately.

Why does this number differ from other sites?

Other sites may count retests or all attempts. This page uses 3,372 primary tests: 35.77% failed first time and 70.0% passed when cars fixed at the test centre (PRS) count as passes. The age-adjusted MOT Risk Index 83.8 is shown separately.
