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.

Audi A1 – 89.1% pass rate
You don’t have to go for the most basic model for a first car, and the Audi A1 offers a touch more luxury in a smart and sporty looking package that is small enough to nip in and out of urban spots.
One thing that might be slightly less premium on a three-year-old A1 is the condition of the tyres – this was the single biggest cause of failure for the small Audi, with 3.0 per cent not getting a clean bill of health on this front, so it might be worth booking in for a new set before the MoT.
