About This Data

Every year, over 30 million MOT tests are carried out in the UK. The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) publishes anonymised results, revealing which makes and models are most likely to pass — and what fails them. We have analysed this data to produce detailed fault profiles for every popular car on UK roads.
