MoT Data for Leeds
Leeds doesn’t do very well for MoT data, with almost nothing but red numbers below. Ferrari stands out, with a pass rate 186% lower than its national average, although just 109 were tested. Very few of the numbers in Leeds tables are green – with Porsche one of the few manufacturers that does better than average.
Daihatsu, Triumph, Austin all have pass rates higher than they do in the average area, but since numbers tested are small and none are available to buy in the UK anymore it’s hardly wise to go and look for one in the hope it’ll guarantee a pass certificate.
