The MoT Files: Top 10 first cars for passing the MoT
We’ve crunched the MoT Files to find the best small cars for passing the first test at three years. These top 10 MoT masters are all perfect for new and young drivers, as they are small, easy to drive and affordable.
After all, the last thing you want is a car that will rack up an expensive list of jobs that need addressing come the first MoT test. If you want to avoid that, then the latest Government figures suggest that these are the very best cars to go for.
These cars were all registered in 2013, which meant they were eligible for their first test MoT in 2016.

Suzuki Splash – 90.5% pass rate
The Splash is no longer available as a new car, but it remained on sale until 2015 so there are still a few out there that have yet to encounter their first MoT. A 90.5 per cent pass rate suggests that it will do well when it comes to that first test, too, making it a sensible used buy.
If you want to up your chances of getting your Splash through its first MoT, then checking the wipers would be a great place to start. Of those that took their first test in 2016, 3.8 per cent failed on this very easily solved factor.
