The MoT Files: Bottom 10 1980s cars
We've extrapolated from the MoT database the bottom 10 for cars registered during the 1980s - those with the worst MoT record. Would you believe that there's three Volkswagens in there? Of course, there's more to any story than mere numbers.
We've only included cars that have more than 1000 examples tested in a single year to keep the statistics meaningful, but from that we can ascertain how the mainstream classic cars are fairing in terms of keeping them on the road and legal. So there will be others that do worse than these - but they are thinner in numbers.
But we guarantee you'll be surprised at some of the classics in this list.
Land Rover 110 53% pass rate
Again, we shouldn't be too hard on the venerable old Landie for putting in this average performance. After all, most lead a hard life, and unlike many other 4x4s you see plying the highways and byways of the UK, most of these venture off-road on a regular basis. That's not something you could say about its sister car, the Range Rover.
