What your report means
A report labels its result as a model estimate, a comparison with recorded outcomes, or a broader dataset reference. It explains when evidence is unavailable. Availability depends on the evidence returned; no report can inspect your car or guarantee its next MOT result.
Understand the comparison data
The comparison dataset contains 148 million recorded DVSA MOT tests. About 26.9% of its recorded tests were failures. Its source-record coverage period is not established here, so this is not a current annual UK failure rate or a percentage of unique cars.
Common MOT Failure Areas
MOT inspections cover lighting, suspension, brakes, tyres and other safety areas. Review previous advisories and arrange a physical inspection when you need a condition assessment.
