MoT Data for Warrington

Warrington (WR) has one of the higher overall pass rates in the country at 64%, and the tables below show lots of green figures, meaning above average scores in most test areas, for most model years and for most manufacturers.

Indeed there are so many green areas in the tables below it’s far easier to pick out the few reds. The failure rate for body and structure problems is higher than the national average, but bodywork problems still only account for 1.5% of MoT failures in Warrington overall, so it’s hardly cause for concern.

The only curiosity in WR areas is the figure for Bentley. Nationally the average failure rate for Bentley models is 13.3%, but it’s 29.6% in Warrington areas, a 122% difference. However, Bentleys aren’t particularly common, and most makes and models tend to have an higher than average MoT pass rate in Warrington areas over the average.
