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.
69.6% of first attempts passed in 2024 (2,271 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 2,271 primary tests: 30.38% failed first time and 78.3% passed when cars fixed at the test centre (PRS) count as passes. The age-adjusted MOT Risk Index 237.8 is shown separately.
