How Skoda 2023 compares
Skoda’s 2023 first-time MOT pass rate of 82% sits above the UK national figure of 64% for that period. Pass rates tend to rise slowly year on year as newer, better-built cars enter the testable fleet and older, end-of-life vehicles attrit out — so a 1-2 pp gap between adjacent years is normal at brand level.

Source: MOT Checkup analysis. Year-keyed pass rates are modelled estimates anchored on the Skoda brand-average pass rate of 82% derived from our reliability dataset, with an explicit age-related adjustment between adjacent test years. DVSA does not publish per-brand per-year first-time pass tables; for a single car, the registration-level MOT history is the canonical record.
