How the MOT Risk Index and every figure on this page are calculated: methodology.
What is wrong on this page? One tap sends the category only, no text and nothing about you.
90.8% of first attempts passed in 2024 (15,173 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 15,173 primary tests: 9.15% failed first time and 95.5% passed when cars fixed at the test centre (PRS) count as passes. The age-adjusted MOT Risk Index 75.6 is shown separately.
