MoT Data for Llandrindod Wells
Very few of the numbers in tables for Llandridnod Wells aren’t red, which means lower than average pass rates on all of the most common MoT problem areas. On top of that, most model years and most manufacturers have an increased failure rate over the national average.
This probably stems from the fact that the LD postcode covers plenty of rural areas where cars are likely to do more miles at higher speeds, over rougher surfaces and in poorer conditions. Owners of cars in such areas should spend a little more time preparing for their MoT in order to give themselves the best chance of a pass.
