How AutoSafe's MOT Comparison Works
AutoSafe uses 148 million recorded DVSA MOT tests to show the historical failure rate for the closest available group of comparable vehicles. Enter your registration number and postcode to see the recorded MOT context, mileage source, comparison scope and available sample size behind the result.
Why Review Comparable MOT Outcomes?
Across the checked-in DVSA aggregate, about 27% of recorded tests were failures. When AutoSafe can assess the submitted vehicle's recorded MOT history, it shows the vehicle's predicted chance of failing its next MOT; otherwise it shows a clearly labelled comparison with historical outcomes for the closest supported group. Neither result is a guarantee or a diagnosis.
Common MOT Failure Areas
The most common reasons for MOT failure include problems with lighting and signalling, suspension, brakes, and tyres. Where the comparison data supports it, AutoSafe shows component patterns for similar vehicles; it does not diagnose your car.
