MoT Data for Lerwick
![](http://images.honestjohn.co.uk/imagecache/file/width/640/media/7238437/lerwick.jpg)
Lerwick has one of the poorest pass rates in the country, but given its remote location and how exposed to the elements cars are in ZE postcodes, it’s not a big surprise.
It’s also worth noting that very few cars were tested in the remote ZE postcode area – many registration years and manufacturers don’t even appear in the tables below.
