MoT Data for Inverness
Inverness is in Scotland, and, as seems to be the trend for Scottish towns, pass rates are below average. Some areas, including brakes and suspension, have significantly higher failure rates in an IV area than the average elsewhere.
Additionally, with the exception of cars registered in 1986, no matter the first year of registration, cars have higher failure rates in Inverness than in other areas, and all but a couple of car makes have higher failure rates. It seems the Scottish climate isn’t kind to cars.
