The MoT Files: The first MoT - top 10 manufacturers
Manufacturer pass rates for the first MoT provide a superb insight into how new cars cope with the grain and strain of modern life.
For many new cars, the MoT will be the first time an expert has tested the roadworthiness aspects and exhaust emissions required by UK law. Arguably one of the most important lists in the MoT Files and the data here shows the 10 best manufacturers when it comes to 2010 registered cars passing the MoT at the first time of asking.
To get a better impression of how mainstream manufacturers perform we have based our rested on 5000 MoT tests or more to exclude unaffordable or niche brands.
The fourth and final Japanese entry in our top 10 is Mazda, with an average first MoT pass rate of 84 per cent. Like Suzuki, the firm doesn’t have any outstanding scorers, but does boast notable rates for the (pictured) 3 (88 per cent), RX-8 (87 per cent) and the iconic MX-5, which achieves an MoT pass rate of 86 per cent.
