The MoT Files: The first MoT - top 10 cars
As you'd expect, this is one of the most important and interesting top 10s among the MoT Files. It shows how a car performs in the first MoT, the first time in its life that it comes under outside scrutiny. It's also the time when many new car warranties run out (there are exceptions such as Hyundai, Toyota or Kia), so it's likely that owners will on their own when it comes to picking up the bill for any repairs.
These are the 10 best performers in their first MoT. As the data is from 2013, these are cars first registered in 2010 and some models have been replaced by newer versions since then, but it's still very useful guide if you're looking at buying a used car.
Hyundai i20 86% pass rate
This is the first of two Korean cars in the top 10 but we were expecting more. That perhaps says more about how far brands like Hyundai have come in recent years. The i20 is due to be replaced in late 2014 but the current model performs well in its first MoT.
