The MoT Files: Top 10 MPVs for passing first time
The MPV might be a relatively unfashionable choice these days, with buyers preferring the high-up driving position of an SUV, but there remains a place for the multi-purpose vehicle, with families that need practical and affordable transport.
When it comes to the MoT, there are lots of capable and durable MPVs on offer. We’ve crunched the Government figures to uncover the very best for passing the first test. These cars were first tested in 2016, so were initially registered in 2013.
Toyota Verso - 86.7% pass rate
You can't have a top 10 MoT cars without a Japanese car near the top, and the Verso that flies the flag on this occasion as one of the top performing MPVs. It would have done even better were it not for the relatively poor performance of its lights – a Verso is 170 per cent more likely to fail for its position lamps and eight times more likely to fail because of its rear lights.
Outside of the lights, the Verso was above average, even in the areas where it had a few failures, as it performed better than most when it came to the view of the road, tyres and brakes.
