2025 DVSA data

Used car comparisons

73 head-to-head comparisons built from the DVSA MOT record rather than opinion. Each one shows both cars' first-time pass rates, how they hold up as they age, the mileage they arrive at test on and the areas testers write up most often. The UK average across all cars is 77.3%.

Pick a model, then check the car

A comparison narrows down which model to look for. It cannot tell you anything about the specific car in the advert. Outstanding finance, an insurance write-off marker, a stolen record and a wound-back odometer all sit outside MOT data, and none of them appear on the V5C. Those are checked against the registration.

See the full used car buying guides, the MOT pass rates by model, or run a car history check on a registration.
