Compare Two Used Cars by MOT History & Common Faults

Which model has the stronger MOT record?

Choosing between two used cars? Compare their MOT pass rates, common faults and failure patterns using official UK DVSA MOT data before deciding which one to buy.

Most adverts only tell you about one vehicle. This report compares two makes and models side by side using MOT outcomes for vehicles of the same age band, helping you understand how each typically performs over time.

For each model you'll see

  • MOT pass rate
  • Number of MOT tests analysed
  • Failure breakdown by category
  • Most common DVSA defect codes
  • Advisory, major and dangerous defect patterns

Use it to compare

  • Which model has the stronger MOT record
  • Whether faults are mainly owner maintenance, wear & tear or recurring systemic issues
  • The most common problems to inspect during a viewing or test drive
  • Which model may be the better long-term choice based on typical MOT outcomes

Important

This comparison analyses two makes and models using aggregated UK DVSA MOT data. It shows model-level MOT trends for the selected age band and does not assess the condition of an individual vehicle. For the MOT history of a specific registration, use a dedicated vehicle history check.
