MoT Data for Shrewsbury
Blown bulbs and other light related problems tend to cause less of a problem in Shrewsbury, at 10% below the national average failure rate.
Nonetheless, lighting and signalling problems still account for the majority of MoT failures. Most of the other problem areas have below average failure rates, too, and generally speaking pass rates by year are higher in SY areas unless the car tested is particularly old.
Protons, Chryslers and Renaults have the lowest pass rates, while Smart, Porsche and Lexus models have the highest. Big manufacturers like Ford, Vauxhall and Volkswagen all have pass rates slightly above the national average.
