MoT Data for Dudley
Dudley (DY) is more or less on the average for the rest of the country. There are a few red numbers in the table for common failure causes, but they’re within a few percentage points of the average. It’s the same story down the year of registration tables.
Toyota models are the most likely to pass their MoT tests in Dudley areas, with a pass rate 23% higher than the national average for Toyota models elsewhere in the country.
Porsche and Chevrolet models are the second and third most likely to pass, respectively, and the bottom of the table is made up of Austin, Daewoo and Renault, although all three do a little better in DY than they tend to elsewhere.
