The MoT Files: Top 10 Cars from the 1990s
Given that these cars are at least 14 years old now it's no real surprise to find more expensive models dominating the top 10 list. As with all the other lists, we've gone for a cut off point - so unless there were at least 5000 MoT tests on a particular model, they won't show here.
The idea is to eliminate many of the niche models, otherwise this list would be dominated by makes such as Ferrari, Lotus and Rolls Royce of which there were relatively few being put through an MoT in 2013.
Jaguar XJ6 62% pass rate
Ask the majority of people what makes they'd expect to see in this list and you can guarantee that Jaguar wouldn't be in there. But the big XJ6 has fared well over the years and when it comes to cars from the 1990s it is even ahead of anything from the Japanese manufacturers. What it did tend to fail on were front wheel bearings and subframes but it was above average for brakes and coil springs.
