Vauxhall VX220s that fail once are much more likely to fail again: 27.1% failed the next MOT after a fail, against 15.7% after a pass (test chains 2019–2024). The failure most likely to come back is ‘lamps, reflectors and electrical equipment’: 33.3% of those fails recurred at the next MOT.

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.
81.9% of first attempts passed in 2024 (834 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 834 primary tests: 18.11% failed first time and 85.8% passed when cars fixed at the test centre (PRS) count as passes. The age-adjusted MOT Risk Index 43.7 is shown separately.
