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.
67.0% of first attempts passed in 2024 (663 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 663 primary tests: 33.03% failed first time and 70.9% passed when cars fixed at the test centre (PRS) count as passes. The age-adjusted MOT Risk Index 96.1 is shown separately.
