MoT Data for Llandudno

Llandudno’s tables are mostly green, but some common problem areas have slightly higher than average failure rates in LL postcodes – namely brakes, which have a 21% higher failure rate than elsewhere.

Most registration years have an above average pass rate and almost all manufacturers do better than average. Those that don’t tend to be within a few percentage points of the national average pass rate anyway.
