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.
97.1% of first attempts passed in 2024 (934 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 934 primary tests: 2.89% failed first time and 97.2% passed when cars fixed at the test centre (PRS) count as passes. The age-adjusted MOT Risk Index 36.4 is shown separately.
