The MoT Files: Bottom 10 Cars from the 2000s
The 2000s may not seem that long ago but our list of the 10 cars most likely to fail the MoT shows that there are plenty of hangovers from the 1990s with models that were only on sale for a short time in the new millennium before being replaced - the Ford Escort being a prime example. As with the rest of our lists we've set a minimum limit of 5000 MoT tests to show a more realistic picture and to eliminate very niche makes and models.
Citroen Saxo 41% pass rate
When it comes to cars from the 1990s, the Saxo was the worst performer with a pass rate of around 33%. Things clearly didn't improve dramatically over time and models regsitered in the 2000s were equally poor when it came to passing the MoT. Anti-roll bars are a big concern as are torsion bars along with exhaust and emissions problems.
