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.
Ford C-Max - 85.3% pass rate
Ford manages to have two models in the top 10 for the MPV category, and it is the two smaller models that perform best. The C-Max is not far off the average score for cars taking their first MoT in 2016, with an 85.3 per cent chance of passing first time.
Higher mileage models do particularly well, with those that have covered 60,000 to 70,000 miles in their first three years standing a 75.8 per cent chance of passing, compared to an industry average of 62.7 per cent.
