Ldv MOT pass rates by model

Data updated

Quick answer

Ldv cars pass 52.8% of MOT tests across 2,252 recorded tests, against a national average of 72.3%. We hold data for 2 Ldv models. The item recorded most often on a failed Ldv is strength or continuity of the load bearing structure within 30cm of any sub-frame, spring or suspension component mounting (a 'prescribed area') is significantly reduced or inadequately repaired.

Other Ldv models with MOT data

These models have at least 500 recorded tests, but their tested examples do not span enough ages and mileages to rank fairly. Their failure and advisory patterns are still drawn from real tests.

Common questions

What is the MOT pass rate for Ldv?
Across 2,252 recorded MOT tests, 52.8% of Ldv tests ended in a pass, against a national average of 72.3%. A make-level figure blends very different cars, so the individual model pages are the more useful comparison.
What do Ldv cars most often fail their MOT on?
The most commonly recorded failure item across Ldv tests is "The strength or continuity of the load bearing structure within 30cm of any sub-frame, spring or suspension component mounting (a 'prescribed area') is significantly reduced or inadequately repaired", appearing in 25.2% of failed tests. One failed test can list several items, so these shares do not add up to 100%.
Why do some Ldv models not have a pass rate ranking?
A model is only ranked when its tested examples cover a wide enough spread of ages and mileages for a fair comparison. 0 of the 2 Ldv models here qualify. For the rest we publish the unadjusted rate and the failure patterns, but not a rank, because comparing unadjusted rates mostly sorts cars by how new they are.

How to read these figures

Why the adjusted rate is the fair one

An unadjusted pass rate is strongly driven by the age and mileage of the cars being tested, not by how well they were built. A model bought mainly as a lightly used second car will look better than an identical car sold to high-mileage drivers. Adjusting for age and mileage compares each model against cars that have lived a similar life.

For a specific car, its own record beats any model average — check that vehicle’s MOT history and read what testers actually recorded against it.
