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.

Smart Fortwo – 89.1% pass rate
The Smart Fortwo might not be the ideal first car for everyone, given its diminutive dimensions and lack of rear seats, but it will reward those that take the plunge with a strong showing come its first MoT.
Of those that took the test for the first time in 2016, 89.0 per cent were successful first time around. A large number – 5.8 per cent - failed because of headlights.
